His Safe Haven delivers donated AFO's (ankle foot orthosis)

Before my trip to Liberia, I was given a ton of AFO's (foot/ankle braces) donated by an orthotist working at Gillette Hospital where our son goes for his appointments.   
Knowing so many children with CP in the Monrovia area, and very few resources or supplies to help them, I knew this would be a very welcome gift to the PT department at one of the local hospitals in Monrovia.
THEY LOVED THESE!  JOSEPHINE (the head of the department), COULDN'T STOP SMILING!  She said they would be gone very fast due to so many children needing them. 
I hope to bring more to her on my next trip.

A few thoughts...

        These are two precious 'special needs' boys, that need His Safe Haven. 


There is such a  need for a village like His Safe Haven in Liberia!  We heard so many terrible stories, and saw faces of so many children that need a haven to call their home. 

The first little boy, is still being well cared for by his mother, but she truly wanted to give him up the day we met him.  He will be put on a waiting list for a foster home. 

The other little boy (crying in the second picture), needed to be put immediately into a private foster home and is now being well cared for through temporary private sponsor funds.

There is a huge need for a place for families to seek help, that are choosing to raise their special needs child.  We need to give them support, respite, educate them on caring for their child...but most of all, show them the love of Christ! 

His Safe Haven can be such a blessing to so many children, families, and even the surrounding communities.
If you would like to know more about the vision for His Safe Haven, or feel called to serve in any capacity, please contact me! 
One of these days, we will be able to see the vision come to life.  I can't wait see all the individuals  that will be called to His Safe Haven, and fit all the pieces of this puzzle together.
