Advocacy - Meet Kanani!

In this post, I mentioned functioning as the body of Christ.  One of the very important callings in the orphan crisis is advocacy.  Joanna from Canada is an awesome advocate for children listed on Reece's Rainbow.  Her passion is contagious.  I'm sharing Kanani with you today because Joanna asked me to, in honor of Kanani's 5th birthday this month. 

Yes, her fifth.  She has already been transferred and that is bad news.  Her chances of survival are less with every passing moment.  To find out more about being transferred, watch this.  Please look at Kanani's picture.  Please pray for her.  It's the least I can do for one of the least of these, but God has asked me to do a little more for this little one today.  So I'm praying and I'm sharing.   

Meet Kanani!

Girl, born April 2008 Anophthalmos of the left eye, optic atrophy of the right eye, spastic tetraparesis
Kanani has been transferred!
Lovely Kanani needs a family to help her reach her full potential.
From a family who met her in May 2012:
Kanani is very sweet girl. She is well cared for in a good orphanage by caring nannies. She gets lots of outside time when it’s warm out but this time is spent lying down in the stroller as she can’t sit on her own. She can hold on to your fingers and seems to just love to have attention although with her eye troubles it is difficult for her to respond. She likes to have her cheek stroked and her hand held. She is quite stiff and in need of physiotherapy and most of all love and attention. We were told that she will be transferred to an institution very soon unless a family is found as children at this orphanage are typically transferred at age 4.
Large families welcome; travel required.
$3567.20 is available towards the cost of my adoption!

Donations are tax deductible.

Please also go here to see more pictures of Kanani and read more from families who have met her.  Also, near the top of the page, you will see links to Joanna's posts entitled "The Reality" which I recommend as well.  

My prayer is that everyone who sees this will say their own prayer today.  Ask the Lord what He would have you to do.  It may be little or it may be much.  Pray, share, donate, adopt???  God bless you as you serve Him!
