Prayers for Haiti

The people of Haiti have been in my prayers. Especially one little orphanage. For more than two years a friend and her husband have been in the process of adopting two sweet children from Haiti.  Their babies live in a small orphanage with 60+ other children. Word has slowly trickled in. Some of the adults who care for and live at the O are alive but not without loss of family members. Many of the children are accounted for but some were away from the facility when the quake hit, they and their caregivers are believed to be somewhere near the quake epicenter and there is no news about them. The orphanage sustained significant damage. The biggest concern is getting food and water for the children.

My remarkable friend has heard nothing about her children specifically but has worked tirelessly to get news and information to other families who are waiting  for these children to join their "forever family."  She is working to raise money to get food and clean water to the little people. If you would like to donate visit the Hope for Little Angles of Haiti website and click on volunteer/donate. I'm very confident that every penny will go to providing the very basics for these sweet children. You can visit their Facebook page for updates. Her hourly request is that we pray for miracles not just for her children but for everyone in Haiti.

Here's a typical plea from her blog:

Pray for the families, for the children, for the injured. Pray for the rescuers. Pray for the governments. We need some miracles to come out of this. I can't stop to think about what's happened to all the paperwork they'd been compiling for our adoption for the last 27 months. We need a miracle, Lord. We need a miracle.

Pray for those that are stuck in the rubble and trying to hang on. Pray for the workers and their safety. Pray they'll have the ingenuity to figure out how to make do with what they have and still save lives in less than ideal conditions.

Pray that the world doesn't forget about this next week when some celebutante does something stupid.
