Caleb Maina-Part 4

Celebrate with us guys, Caleb Maina and his mum travelled to Fortis Banglore  yesterday Monday 12th March 2012.  We spoke this morning and they have arrived safely at the hospital and are awaiting to see the doctor. Caleb was very calm in the plane and we really thank God for that favour and the mum is very grateful.

You may be wondering why I have mentioned he is in Fortis yet he was to go to Apollos but over the weekend the doctor at Apollos reviewed the medical report and due to the delicate nature of the surgery he advised that the hospital be changed to one that could handle Caleb's case. Kindly read more about Shone's Complex on http://www.pted.org/?id=shones1.

We are trusting God for 2 things nows. Firstly is for a successful surgery for Caleb and we will inform you on the date of the surgery for you all to pray for him. Secondly the total medical bill is USD 13,500 or Kshs 1,147,500. We have been able to pay a deposit of Kshs 300,000 and therefore deficit is Kshs 847,500. He should be at the hospital for 15 days and we need to pay this amount by then. I appeal to you and your friends to help us in this. My contact numbers are 0722 840375, Caleb's dad is 0721 843918. We shall give details of the swift transfer code for the hospital and an account for caleb later.

Thank you all and may God bless you for standing with this family.

Unconditional love

As I went home last yesterday, I heard the song 'In harms way'  by BeBe Winans, Rhett Lawrence, Margaret Bell-Byars. When listening to music, I want to know the lyrics,what the song is communicating and how it applies in my life. This song reminds me of God's unconditional love, even when I do not deserve it, even when I have given up , even when he knows all He knows about me, he doesn't let go of me. That is just amazing. Undying love you've given to me Seen in me things I would never have seen I don't understand why you care so much, it's all a mystery Time and time again I ask myself What have I done to deserve such wealth The price you paid, I could never repay your generosity Chorus: In wanting to save me In order to save the day Because of love you placed yourself In harm's way It's truly beyond me Left without a word to say What kind of love would place itself In harm's way? What kind of love would place itself In harm

My Journey with Caleb's Family

A friend requested me to share my story on the journey we walked with Caleb's family. So below is a very long blog on that over 1 month. Am not sure what is in store for us ahead but this far it has been God. After our experience with Atrial Septal Defect(ASD) through our daughter Samara, I felt within me a call to look for people to partner with regarding kids with heart issues. So In January this year, I checked the net and bumped into a local NGO. The organization basically deals with kids with heart defects from poor families. I thought it was a noble call and contacted the organization. They were fast to respond and I visited them alone and over the weekend on a Saturday with my family. On the Saturday we went, we met Caleb and his parents. This was end of January and they were discussing with the founder of the organization about how to raise airfare for them to travel to India, first week of February. I held Caleb briefly in my arms and his mum kept saying one day her
