A Special Little Guy and A Special Request

This is a special blog update to ask you to commit to pray for a little fellow at Hermano Pedro orphanage. His name is Yofri, he is three years old, and he has severe CP that twists his tiny body severely. He regularly spasms and his body almost doubles backwards, bending his spine sharply.

He is worsening with the passage of time and this is, in part, due to the nurses’ unwillingness to use the special back board that Dick Rutgers built for him. Dick will adjust it and get him lying nicely, only to return the next day and find the board stuck under a crib somewhere unused. If things continue at their present rate, Yofri will likely not be with us for long.

Will you and your family please pray for Yofri? Please pray that God will ease the tension in his body and help him to relax. Pray that the nurses will use the tools available to help him. And please pray that those of us who love him will do all we can and then leave Yofri in Jesus’ hands.

Thank you,

Daryl, Wanda, and the Fulp Crew
