reminder... through tears...


Look at this picture...

this kid, let's call him Sasha, is looking out of a "window" in the basement of an apartment building in a very COLD Ukrainian city... note the snow... Sasha is a 'street kid'...

I've been there many times when it was so cold that when I took my gloves off to shoot a picture, my hands were tingling from the cold before I got my gloves back on...

I was just visiting... I slept where it was warm...

Sasha (look at the picture again...) lives on the street...

There are soooo many of these kids who need help... I have friends who are making a REAL difference in these kids lives...

This morning in the church I attend, a couple told their story of adopting a kid from an orphanage from Kazakhstan... as they told their story, tears welled in my eyes as I was reminded of Sasha...

A great deal of help is needed... if you would like to help just go to the ministry website to learn more... please, let's give kids like Sasha a chance to sleep in the warm.
