Please storm heaven for 9-month-old Blessing who was brought to Ancilla hospital yesterday with severe malnutrition, weighing just 7 lbs.

Our foundation is covering all her medical expenses and she will be enrolled in our Food and Formula program once discharged since her family cannot afford the necessary formula.

We are hopeful that she will recover and think of Dermot (second photo) who was in a similar position last April, weighing 8 lbs at 8 months old. He is now thriving (3rd photo) by the grace of God, and thanks to the generosity of our donors who enable us to take care of babies like him and Blessing.

Please pray for this sweet little one.

We would like to wish a very happy 88th birthday to my aunt Sr. Mary Rita who founded Divine Providence Home 19 years ago, saving over 200 children who would otherwise be homeless.

May God bless her and grant her many more years in His service! 🙏🏿

I just wrapped up a beautiful trip to Divine Providence Home in Ogoja, Nigeria and can’t wait to share all the stunning footage with you all.

The children are doing really well and are so full of joy. God’s graces are certainly upon them.

The sisters are doing a wonderful job in caring them and their spiritual motherhood is beautiful to witness.

The home’s farm has grown beyond my wildest imagination and is producing so much food for the children and those in their community - praise God!

Thank you to everyone who prayed for Mary and I during our travels and for the success of this trip. I am so grateful.

More footage and updates to come.

Meet Divine Providence Home’s newest addition, three-week-old Joshua. 🥰

Joshua was taking in by Divine Providence Home after his mother disappeared suddenly. His father is very poor and unable to care for Joshua on his own. Police are investigating to figure out what happened to Joshua’s mother.

We are saddened by their separation, but thank God that Joshua will be well-cared for at Divine Providence Home and will aid them in caring for them.

Please keep Joshua and his mother in your prayers. 🙏🏿

Immaculate was born ten days ago and diagnosed with hydrocephalus. Extremely impoverished, his family was unable to pay for the cost of his cesarean delivery, yet alone the treatments needed to treat his condition. Through the generosity of a private donor, we were able to pay Immaculate’s delivery bill and will continue to assist them in covering the costs of his treatments, including the MRI and x-rays that he received today.

Please keep Immaculate in your prayers on this feast of Our Lady of Fatima - that Mary may keep him in her immaculate heart, interceding in his recovery.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us. 🙏🏿

Please pray for this baby boy who was delivered at Catholic Maternity Hospital last week and has hydrocephalus.

His mother was unable to pay their bill, so one of our generous donors covered the cost of his delivery through our St. Gerard Fund. He has been transferred to another hospital for treatment, and we will help him in any way possible.

This little one certainly has a long road to recovery ahead, but God is in control and your prayers will no doubt be efficacious. Updates to come. 🙏🏿
