GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!! WE'RE POSSIBLY (PROBABLY) SENDING DMITRIY HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the other day, Tink was looking on the "RR New Commitments" page. she saw a girl She recognized named Genesis.

she clicked on The Family's blog link and read the 'was then' top post, "In the Middle Of A Miracle" she found out that not only does Dmitriy have the exact same extremely rare 'disease' i guess (they believe, it's called Peter's Anomaly), but they said they were thinking about adopting Dmitriy as well!

it would only be $5000 more. now $5000 sounds like a lot of money, but in God's eyes, that's less than a penny! Tink and i think Dmitriy and Genesis are related, so we've commited to raising that $5000 ourselves. thats rite, 2 young teenagers raising $5000 to bring a little blind kid home! we'll do all sorts of fundraisers (church offering [hopefully], selling knit items at our church...). We will try to make a documentary. PLEASE PRAY that this all works out! we hope to at least send the money to their family by Christmas!

My focus

I have made a decision. Although I will be keeping Sergey and Victoria on the blog, I'm going to be focusing on Dmitriy, as I feel I can better sponsor him, and I feel a certain passion for the blind (I really don't know why, probably because I met E and in my story I am writing, two of the characters are blind). So, please be praying for all three!

New Pictures- I'm in a good mood today

Yes, this is who you think it is

Blind

While I was helping at a camp recently, there was a boy. His name is E, and he is blind. He was the sweetest boy I have ever met, and about 2 years older than Dmitriy. He was pretty independent, and his voice sounded kind of like Sam. I believe he had slight autism as well, at campfire, he sat in the front, with his hat covering his eyes, and then his hand over his eyes. He wanted to do everything at camp, including the climbing wall.
His dad told him he would help him, just getting started, and E kept saying "I can do it myself! I can do it myself!" Then, as he was climbing, he would lose his grip and come off the wall, hanging like a pinata, and he would say "why do i keep flying off the wall?". Before, when I was putting on his harness, I would tap his foot and say "E, lift this foot." and he would lift it almost as high as he could. He almost lost his balance the first time. While he was waiting, he was standing off to the side. He kept asking "is it my turn?" I got him in line about 5. So I got to watch him climb the wall. He got about a third of the way up!! May not seem that high to you, but imagine being 6 or 7, blind, and climbing the wall. He got about 7 feet above ground. He also was very adventurous, wandering about 10 feet from his dad, then asking what was in front of him (i think he could tell the difference between light and dark).
I wanted to share this because
1). E is a cute little boy
2). To show Dmitriy's potential families out there that blindness isn't the worst thing out there. This boy climbed a wall. Look at all the possibilities out there for Dmitriy. I know because his eye, people turn away. I don't have a winning smile from him. But take a leap of faith and save this little boy. Imagine the pride if you saw Dmitriy climbing a climbing wall in two years. It begins with you. I want people to pray that Dmitriy will find a family. That they will look past his physical disability, and see a sweet little boy begging for a chance at life. That they will TAKE THAT LEAP OF FAITH and save him.
Stay Safe, God Bless
Jesus Loves You
