WE FINALLY HAVE OUR 4RUNNER!!!

After many many  months of delays at the port in Monrovia Liberia, Josephus finally has his much needed vehicle for the FMN program!  All glory to God! It is truly a  miracle that we got the truck out of port, and everything inside the truck was right where we left it when it was packed here in August. 
Other than the battery needing a jumpstart, everything is great!  This will be a HUGE blessing to our program, Josephus, all the kids and the caregivers!  Thank you to all who were instrumental in aquiring the 4Runner, through funds and contacts.  Thank you to the team in Liberia who persevered, stood their ground, and never gave up! Awesome!!  WE OFFICIALLY HAVE A FMN VEHICLE!!!

Meet handsome Mohammed...


Meet our newest member to the Forget-Me-Not Program!
This precious little guy has Cerebral Palsy.  These pics are taken from the hospital where he was abandoned.  He is now in a FMN home with his wonderful foster mom, and is adjusting nicely.

Please pray for our FMN kids...

Our Precious Patience...

It's with great sadness that I am writing this post.  To our shock, Patience passed away from Malaria on Tuesday morning.  The sweet and goofy personality that Patience brought into the family of FMN kids and caregivers, will be severely missed.  She had the most beautiful face and cutest giggle.  There is just a huge emptyness now.  She will be missed....I'm just at a loss for words...

Our FMN kids are so vunerable to every aspect of life in Liberia. Malaria is a huge killer for all kids in Liberia...especially 'special needs' kids.  Our program does what it can to prevent this killer, but we are so limited.  Please pray that the government will follow through with their word, and allow 'special needs' kids to be adopted.  Just being able to get these kids out of the country, away from Malaria infestations, have the access to sufficient medical care and be adopted and loved into their forever family will be a huge step.  I'm so tired of watching kids die from such a senseless killer!  The death of Patience has given us all the more reason to fight and advocate for the lives of these precious children.

We will miss our beautiful princess, Patience...
