This was posted by our friend, Rispa, who lives in Nakuru, Kenya. She fosters some of the children at Kakuswi Special School for the Deaf.
If God lays it on your heart to help her, you can give through Love Abides and we will see that she gets your gift. Asante Sana 💗

❤️ Friends, I Am Not Ashamed to Ask for Help
Dear friends,
Next week, schools will reopen, and I am worried because I do not have enough to help the children return to school. I am therefore humbly reaching out to friends who may have a heart to support them.
I am a Deaf foster mother caring for 14 children. For the past 15 years, I have cared for children in need. I do not have a good-paying job, but through the kindness of friends and supporters, I continue to provide them with accommodation, daily meals, clothing, love, and care.
This school opening, the children need:
🎓 1 university student – school fees
📚 2 Grade 9 students – fees and proper uniforms
📖 2 Grade 8 students – fees and books
✏️ 1 Grade 6 student – fees and books
📚 2 Grade 5 students – books and pens
📚 2 Grade 4 students
📖 1 Grade 2 student
🎒 1 PP1 child
🏠 2 children in homestay care
We also need help with transport back to school, school fees, stationery, uniforms, and personal needs.
Friends, I am not begging for myself. I simply want to put a smile on these children's faces and give them hope for their future. If you are able to bless one child, two children, or contribute whatever you can, I will be deeply grateful.
Every blessing, whether big or small, makes a difference. As you bless me, I also continue blessing and caring for others.
Please stand with us during this school-opening season. May God reward you abundantly for your kindness and love.
“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” — Matthew 25:40
🙏 Thank you for remembering these children. God bless you.

So incredibly proud of this team! ❤️They stepped out in faith to serve in God's love at Malili, Tawa, and Kakuswi. They worked hard, they laughed, they cried, they walked (a lot!), and they came together as a team - caring for each other and all those we met.
It was a wonderful trip - much was accomplished and lives were changed. I thank God for bringing this team together and watching over our time in Kenya. 🙏🇰🇪 🖤❤️💚

** May look like it comes from Love Abides too.

Sooo... apparently there's some stupid scam going around where you get an email invite through Paperless Post. The email appears to come from a friend. If you open it, they gain access to your contacts and then those contacts start getting the email invite from you! 😡
I did what you should never do (opened it) and now some friends are getting emails from "me". If you get one, do nothing other than DELETE it!
Sorry in advance. ☹️
