A Jon<\/span> Post<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

There is much brokenness here. There are broken families, broken spirits, broken bodies and broken hearts. We swim in it.
\nOne shares about a faithless husband who brought a deadly virus into the bed with him which only adds to the mountain that she must climb to find health\u2026
\nhere is brokenness…<\/p>\n

\"Rosa\"<\/a>

Rosa<\/p><\/div>\n

One shares about the family that sent her away because they were afraid of her cancer and her tumor, thinking it was infectious and that the plague of cancer must be driven from their house\u2026
\nhere is brokenness…
\nOne shares of a child not 5 months gone\u2026 lost to malaria, tuberculosis, or some other preventable sickness\u2026 and now cancer is ravaging the child\u2019s mother\u2026
\nhere is brokenness\u2026
\nOne shares of a 6 year old son who misses his father beyond words\u2026 and while the father sits in my back yard his little son cries out to his mother to please let me talk to daddy on the phone first!!!
\n<\/em>here is brokenness\u2026<\/p>\n

But there is still life.<\/p>\n

There is life when Anita comes out of her room singing praises to God in the morning.
\nThere is life when Pedro plays checkers with me and doesn\u2019t want to stop.
\nThere is life when In\u00eas laughs.
\nThere is life when Rosa finds her appetite again.<\/p>\n

Though these small things seem inconsequential and minor in comparison to the agony that threatens\u2026 these humble signs of life are the driftwood that we find in this tempest of cancer.<\/p>\n

\"Pedro\"<\/a>

Pedro<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

So this is our broken little family; Jon, Layne, Anaya, Jovie, Karasi, Anita, In\u00eas, Pedro, Rosa and Gasher.<\/p>\n

Pedro and Rosa just joined it last week.<\/p>\n

We need help.<\/p>\n

Our family is running out of money. Pedro and Rosa both need some special care (they both have open wounds that we clean and dress every day) and that only adds to the speed that our bank accounts are drying up.<\/p>\n

We need help.
\nI know there are a lot of people who read this blog and pray for us. The biggest focus of this blog is to keep those who already DO give to us informed and to try to help them feel a part of what is happening here with Casa Ahav\u00e1. But beyond that, I know that there are many people who read this who haven\u2019t given.<\/p>\n

Please. We need help.<\/p>\n

\"Family<\/a>

Family Dinner Time<\/p><\/div>\n

Would you share this on your social networks, tell your friends, tell your church, try to find someone who can do what we cannot: Fund this thing.<\/p>\n

We need about $1000 more per month to keep this family going.<\/p>\n

We will continue to try to be the hands God uses to heal the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Would you help those hands keep working?<\/p>\n

To those of you who are already helping; thanks. We really, really, really do know how much of a sacrifice it is. We do. It’s not small. It’s not forgotten.<\/p>\n

Thank you.<\/p>\n
