đź’™ Please Keep Baby Todd and His Parents in Your Prayers đź’™
Many of you know that Operation Hope, YANA, is only able to do what we do because of people who are willing to give their time, their hearts, and their hands to help others.
For the past couple of years, two of our most faithful volunteers have been our son and his wife. They have been there for so many of our deliveries and furniture pickups. Our son has been beside us on countless deliveries, loading, unloading, carrying furniture, and doing whatever needed to be done. His wife has helped us prepare and set up homes, making sure families walked into a place that felt like home.
They haven’t just been volunteers. They are family, and they have been a huge part of Operation Hope.
Right now, though, their family is going through something we never expected. Their sweet baby boy, Todd, was born far too early, 22 weeks, and their focus needs to be exactly where it belongs—with their precious son and with each other. ❤️
Because of this, they won’t be able to continue helping with our deliveries and pickups for the foreseeable future. And honestly, we are going to miss them more than words can say.
It also means Operation Hope will have to make some changes. We may not be able to complete deliveries and pickups as quickly as we have in the past, and there may be times when we have to ask for additional help or delay a delivery until we have enough volunteers.
We don’t say that to ask anyone to feel sorry for us. We simply want to be honest with the families we serve and with the people who support Operation Hope. ❤️
Right now, our biggest request isn’t for furniture or donations. It’s for PRAYER.
Please pray for Baby Todd—for strength, healing, and every precious breath.
Please pray for his mom and dad as they navigate something no parent should ever have to face.
And please pray for them as a couple, that God would give them strength, peace, patience, and comfort as they walk through these incredibly difficult days together.
We believe in the power of prayer, and we believe that God is holding this precious little boy in His hands. 🙏💙
And when the time is right, we will figure out the rest.
Operation Hope may look a little different for a while, but our mission remains the same: helping people who need hope know that they are not alone.
Please keep this beautiful family in your prayers. 💙🙏
