Sometimes one act of hope opens the door to another.
Our partners in Uganda recently met four-year-old Victor while evaluating his family for a new home—one that, thanks to the generosity of our supporters, Open Hearts for Orphans will be providing. ❤️
During the assessment, they learned something that immediately caught our attention: Victor is unable to stand or walk without assistance and, remarkably, he had never received a medical evaluation to understand why.
And this is where the story comes beautifully full circle.
Because of our newly refurbished Josiah's Hope Pediatric Ward, we had a connection to help.
Victor was referred for a medical assessment and neurological evaluation, and yesterday he received an MRI. Now we wait for his appointment with the neurologist on September 18 to learn more.
Will you please pray with us?
🙏 For answers.
🙏 For wisdom for Victor's medical team.
🙏 And most of all, that whatever the diagnosis may be, there is treatment or therapy available that can help this precious little boy gain greater mobility and independence.
What a gift that would be—not only for Victor, but for his mama and entire family.
We set out to help provide this family with a safe home with our partners. We never imagined that along the way, we might also help uncover a medical need and connect their little boy with care.
This is what happens when partnerships cross paths and open hearts work together. One need leads us to another...and another opportunity to say YES. 🥹
We'll keep you posted on Victor. For now, please cover this sweet boy in prayer. 🙏
