DESPERATE NEED

110 orphans in danger of being returned to the perilous streets of Kenya.

$13580 is needed to keep them safe for the next 6 months,

until hopefully a way will be found back to their home.

 

Blessings Hope Center is the only home many of these children have ever known. Pastor Sam is the only father they have known.  (Sam rescued them from the streets, where they were abandoned.)

 

It is a challenge to feed, shelter and educate all of these children. But Pastor Sam and his team faithfully work day in and day out to give these children a home they so desperately need.

 

BUT NOW, due to some great financial difficulties (a trusted person fled the country leaving a financial mess in Sam’s lap), and because of one heartless government official, the school has been closed, with the promise of jail for Pastor Sam until a debt not belonging to him is paid.

 

Here in the states, we have been scrambling to raise money to help. But because we came up a few hundred dollars short of the deadline, the school was closed without compassion for the children, and with no mercy for Pastor Sam.

 

Sam has been desperately trying to find temporary housing for the children, before he turns himself in to the authorities. The youngest of the children have been placed in various homes.

 

110 children between the ages of 9 and 13 still have no place to go. Another orphanage school has offered to take them IF we can pay the initial registration fee of $1,580, and then $2,000/mon thereafter.

 

There is no government help for children in Kenya. I hope you will find it in your heart to help us protect these children from their hearts being broken once again, and from being returned to the streets, and the dangers that await them there.
