Sweet friends, I wish I could hug each of you and thank you personally for blessing these children so abundantly by giving to our Feed Their Tummies fundraiser. The past few days have been full of rejoicing and tears in our house, as photos have poured in of these precious ones being fed and loved on.
Yesterday morning, when Dr. Laure delivered the food to one of the orphanages, she entered the gates to children calling out {in Lingala} ”Maman aye nzala esili“, which translated in English means, “mom comes, finish hunger.”
Thank you. Thank you for giving.
Even when it seems that the need is too great. Even when the enemy whispers, “you are only one. what good can one person do? it’s not worth it to even try. you can’t make a change.”
You did it. You made a difference for these children. They now know that someone, somewhere cares enough to send life-saving resources. And, in my opinion, that is worth it.
Each and every one of these children are worth it.

I love the quote at the end of this video:
