some current needs

I have been putting off this post for a while .. we have been working away at what we can and as additional needs arise I have been saying "Thats for a special blog post" or an opportunity for others to be a blessing and in turn be blessed .  So here is what we have that We need to find sponsors for.  

Romina and Sabina    These are Kamala's neices that she cares for.   The school that they attend is almost two hours across the city.  This is very difficult for them to spend four hours a day on a bus.  We have been trying to get them into a school closer to home but the schools are so over crowded that we can not find anything.  We did find a private school that has very high standards . This school is $200 a month each.  This has sort of risen in priority and things have been deteriorating at their current school with one of their class mates killed in a school beating. We would really like to get them moved sooner then later.   We are still working on other possibilities but as of now, this is the best we can come up with. 

Julia   is a special young lady that we have known for several years .  She first crossed our path when Julie was teaching at an english school and Julia was a student there .. she then became a teacher and an art teacher volunteering with kids from the orphanage.  She has also worked with us as a translator with teams.  When she is not volunteering or teaching, she works as a Barrista in a little coffee shop where we do our grocery shoping. She has dreamed of going to collage and taking Linguistics, so we have helped her to enroll and paid her deposit .   We will need $1200 per year for her tuition, the first half  payment in due in August . 

Vika   This is Kamala's youngest neice that she is caring for .  She has a lot of emotiional issues that they are working through. Life with her has been very demanding . We were able to get her into a very good preschool  where she is thriving . She is still a little emotionaly insecure for grade one so since she has been doing so well we would like to keep here here for one more year. The program including meals is $400 a month, however we do have a sponsor that is covering about half of that so we are looking for $200 a month for here 

Baktygul    is back in Kyrgyzstan.  She is expecting and her documents were not in order in Turkey so she had to return to Kyrgyzstan.  Her boyfriend had promised to support her but as soon as she go here he has not helped at all.  For her to be ready for the birth with all the hospital expences and things that she will need , we are looking to find her $600.  We have her hospital start up pack purchased and ready, and we have her in a good home with meals provided and many other supports in place. So we are hoping that the one time $ 600 will arrive before the baby does .

Tanya  works with seniors, families with dissabilities, the mens home and so many more in need .  we have some sponsorship for her but we are running about $100 a month short to cover her needs and this is difficult for us to cover and some help with this would be great .

Alina    has an unexpected need. She developed some problems with her teeth and some nerve damage. They needed to pull some teeth right away and give her some braces to try to realine the area that is pressing on the nerves.  The work being done is $700.  This is something we have gone ahead and started, but could really use some help with this . 

 

Respite and self care is so important when you are looking after others. We have noticed that many of those we work with are close to an area of burn out. We would like to have a fund of about $100 a month that we could use to  provide some time apart for our workers as needed .  

So those are all needs for the girls, so its only fair we put a need in for the guys. 

We need some new tires. We need six tires for the truck as they are starting to get a little craked and we have coal season coming when we will be puting heavy loads as well as using the truck to haul water in the summer.  We also will be needing tires for our car .  In total I need to find about $800 for these needs. 

 Of course there is more, but this is a good start for now.  Please join us in praying that one way or another these needs are covered.
