Hope For The Island

Day: September 24, 2014

  • Lalu

    LALU #11For the past four months Lalu has been showing progress. The local doctor worked out some assistance for Lalu and her great grandmother to travel to Cebu City. There she saw a specialist about her flexed arms and legs at no cost to the family!

    After several consultations and tests, she was given meds and an exercise program that is helping. As part of our Feeding Program, we supply her with a healthy meal a day and have added chewable multivitamins that were donated.

    Lalu is slowly gaining weight and is much more responsive. Through a donation, we were able to get a wheelchair for her as well. This gives her much needed mobility. Previously her great grandmother had to carry her everywhere!

    Our Hope for the Island team followed up with her at her home and reported the following:

    Thank you Lord for what you are doing in JoyJoy’s life, you are so amazing and wonderful! A testimony from her mother testified that they have not lost hope and continue to trust for more miracles in their daughter’s life.

    At the last follow up appointment with the doctor, He said the brain tumor is getting smaller! Her mother directly attributes this change and gives God glory for the prayers that Pastor Duane and his team from Harvest Church prayed over JoyJoy while visiting from Canada.

    She is still having difficulty walking and will need to exercise daily because they believe she now has rheumatism. We believe God has heard our prayers and JoyJoy is in His hands.

    We are so grateful to you for your prayers and continued encouragement for this family.

    We love you JoyJoy!!!
