Emmanuel

Emmanuel is one of my client's children she looks after. He is severely malnurished and often left alone for hours at a time while Rispa looks for work. For those who received an email about Emmanuel: Rispa and Emmanuel both came yesterday very late for the meeting, and also came this morning very early. Both times, things about Emmanuel were discussed, like how often she feeds him, why she leaves him alone, and what clinics he has been to. We will talk again about taking him to a cheaper, but still quality, hospital. She will need help with doctor fees, transport, and medicines, and we are willing to help where we can. She also will need help on following through with what she says. I want you to help by praying for her, Emmanuel, and my project on how much to help. It's not as simple as saying, "we will pay it." Dependency is something we don't want to encourage. Still, Emmanuel, as I was reminded, means "God with us." May I never forget that! Even though it may seem discouraging looking at that baby boy, God is with him.
