Solace for the Children. We hosted a little 9 year- old named
Lida. She forever impacted our family.
Solace for the Children is a non-profit that offers
medical care to children who otherwise have no access to it.
Lida had a staff infection in her femur and had to have 3 surgeries
in 9 days. Those surgeries saved her life. She smiled and thanked
us the whole way through and in the end we fell in love with her. When we
said goodbye at the airport last summer we thought we'd
never see her again...
Unexpectedly, we received an email with her name on it
saying she was one of the six children (2 boys and 4 girls)
Solace was sending to Los Angeles this summer.
Anyhow, this is where our friends and family come in, we need prayer and support. If you want to help us with Solace this summer here is the information and thank you for considering supporting us, every little bit helps.

Even if you don't feel led to give, please pray for our Solace summer. Pray that the children will feel God's love while they are here, for their medical needs to be taken care of, and that they leave here feeling valued and loved. Pray that the families involved will have the stamina they need to care for an extra child this summer.
Please know your prayers are coveted.

Hi Nicole!
Does Lida need surgery again on her leg? Really exciting that you get to see her again.
