Take a good look at the little girl below. Meet Sandra.. she was an orphan in the same orphanage as Cliff is at. Notice I said was? You see Sandra just passed away.. ALONE and with no family.
Sandra was four years old. She spent four years as an orphan waiting for a family to step up and come and get her. She was listed as almost ready to start walking, healthy with no known heart condition. We can only speculate on the reason of her passing but we do know that in many cases these children are very small for their ages. What we do know is a precious little girl who only knew life only within the confines of an orphanage took her last breath alone.
Does that sadden you? Do you feel like you want to cry? Are you mad that this happens? Well I feel all those things and more. I use to bury my head in the sand and avoid the painful truth because well the task seems so daunting.. I mean we can't save them all right? I thought well there is nothing I can do I am just one person and times are tough. Then I opened my eyes and realized there is something I could do. And there are things you can do too. I know here we go with the begging for money part. Yes it is true we do need funds to get Cliff. What seems like a small amount adds up to a large amount. Most importantly please continue to pray that God continues to guide us on this journey and please share my journey to everyone.
Remember Sandra and the other angels before her who in her life on earth never knew true love but who are now dancing with Jesus wrapped in his eternal love. That is the only comfort I have.
RIP Sandra :'(
ReplyDeleteMy heart breaks for Sandra. No one she be alone, especially one when they are sick. May she be joyous in the arms of the One who never desired for her to be alone in the first place, Jesus.
