| Izaiah, after the accident |
It was such a thrill for me to finally meet this little angel and catch up with his dad. Izaiah was the picture of joy in his wheelchair as he waited for his Grama to load him into their specially designed van.
And if that wasn't enough of a blessing, I also learned that there is a very big opportunity to continue to help this family right now. They are one week away from moving into the house that they have been working on for so long. SO many things have needed to be done for this house, renovations that I couldn't possibly think of in order to continue physically supporting and sustaining little Izaiah.
Jacob told me that they are hoping to round up volunteers this weekend to help finish preparing the house. Drywall, tilework, and more is needed to get things ready for their move-in date, which in June 19. Did you see tilework? It just so happens we have a licensed tile contractor in our home..... :) I am so thankful to God for giving our family this opportunity to serve this needy family. Here is a link to a blog following the house prep: http://passion4kids.wordpress.com/
Can you help the Wallis family too? If you are in the area and can lend a hand it would be gratefully received. The effort is being coordinated through Passion 4 Kids - http://www.passion4kids.com
But if you are far away, you can still help. All of the medical bills, special equipment, round the clock nurses and more that the family needs are all paid for through fund raising and donations. Would you consider donating to this family? Pray about it and ask God what you should do - I have a feeling you'll feel the tug to contribute in some way.

And if you are in the area, look for me in the brown Weekend of Service tshirt!
