Two weeks and $1,700 Short

It has been blessing to be home. It is a time of restoration, rejuvenation, preparation to return, and sharing my story with others. God is showing me so much since I have been home. I was privileged to share my story to Trinity Episcopal Church this past Sunday. They truly blessed me with their interest and support in my adventures in Haiti.

Thank you to all who are reading my blog and supporting me through prayer and donations. As I prepare to leave for Haiti again in 2 weeks, I ask for your help. I need to raise $1,700 by January 3rd (2 weeks from today). Here is the link to my giving page:

Let me leave you with a story about a girl from the Mission names Wilna.

A friend of Kerry mentioned that he had to come see this girl. There was something wrong with one of her eyes. Kerry found eight year old Wilna. Kerry learned that she had no mother or father, both had died. She now worked as a slave girl for three different families carrying water. She is blind in one eye and legally blind in the other. Kerry knew this was the girl that would start his orphanage. Two and a half years later, she is a quiet lively little 10 year old girl. She loves going to school and learning English from all of us upstairs. She brightens my day everyday.
