Tomorrow surgery

  Finally! Finally tomorrow will be the surgery of little Elijah at 10.00AM (Ukrainian time)! Praise the Lord!!! THANK YOU so much for your prayers and financial support !!! Parents are VERY grateful to all of you!!! ♥♥♥

  For various reasons, the surgery was postponed. God knows the best time.Often due to the fact that the baby felt not well. He was constantly in the hospital and often in intensive care... Only recently, he spent a month at home, which was a real miracle!

 The doctor warned us that the surgery is very complicated and we all should to be ready for everything... He explained that they would separate the two hemispheres of the brain and it will last at least 10 hours... That is Elijah can live with one half of the brain. Speech, brain activity, intellect, movement of parts of the body are all preserved. Of course, the little angel will need a long time for rehabilitation...

  We do not know how much time and money it will take to rehabilitate the baby... It is very difficult to say. We know that only about $700  will be spent on the 5 day intensive care of the boy after the surgery. The operation itself will cost $3,000. In addition, a lot of the rest of the spending on medicines, tests and much more. 

 Also, the father of the family cannot go to work as he is at home with their little daughter Diana, while Stela and Elijah are in the hospital. Therefore, the family is starving and without means of subsistence...They don`t receive any social assistance and payments from government to support the family. Our goal is to raise $3,000 for the rehabilitation of Elijah and food for the family for the first time until Vadim gets a job. This poor family that has gone through soooo many challenges needs support and encouragement! 

Could you please bless and show the love of Christ? Every little gift of love is a huge blessing for this sweet family!Elijah dreams to start walking! We really hope that the surgery will be successful and the baby's dream will come true! We ask you to pray earnestly for the Lord to send all the necessary means to the boy and his precious family. God gives peace and calm in the heart of the parents and Elijah. That God himself led the surgery and bless the hands of doctors. His precious life is valuable and in God's mighty hands.May the Lord be glorified through this operation, and all may see the goodness, power  and mighty of our Savior!!!

I can breath by nose!

...such happy called Vova by phone some days later after surgery and demonstrated it.  :)

He is so happy he can breathes by his nose and feel himself  fully  functional person.He is so excited he does not suffer as before. He rejoice and praises God!

Praise the Lord, who blessed so abundantly this sweet guy and cares of his needs!

Everyone was surprised that Vova recovered so quickly! As it was told that he will be in hospital of 7-10 days or even 2 weeks. But everything happened much quicker!It`s because of so many prayers of you all! :)

Vova is at home now. He is doing very well.What a joy!But the doctor said we have to wait some days.And hope next week BOM will take care of Vova for treatment of his teeth.Such an awesome blessing and great joy for the guy!

Thank you so very much for your prayers, great support, generous donations, care and love of Vova.What a  wonderful blessing you are for him!God bless you!

Vova after surgery

What an awesome God we serve!We thank sincerely all of you, who opened your hearts and answered to the call of God to care of the orphaned children!What a great joy!

Just for several hours we raised $605 to help Vova! And plus $175 we had. Total is $780. It`s even more than enough for the surgery! Praise God! But the rest of the funds we will spend to help Vova with his teeth.What an amazing blessing for Vova!We are so happy for him!

Thank you!Thank you so much for your support and help!

Well.Vova had the surgery today. It seems that everything is well for now.We had not possibility to see his doctor.But we had possibility to visit this sweet guy.He slept more than 5 hours after general anesthesia.When we  came to visit him, he still looked sleepy but could to speak a bit.He looked so tired.Poor guy.

 We were told he will spend not smaller than a week in hospital and probably just in 2 weeks he will feel better.

Please, keep pray for his quick recovery and his good health and spirit as well.I will update, when we have any news.

Many, many thanks!What a blessing you are to the orphaned children!We really appreciate the assistance.God bless you!

Vova needs the help and prayers

Vova is one of the sweet guys, whom BOM supports.We love him for his kind heart and a desire always to help when he can.
Right now Vova is in hospital and he needs our help and prayers for his health and that the Holy Spirit strengthen him.

 The matter is that many teens having been "age out" from orphanages, have bad teeth. BOM helps them to treat and resolve this issue. Vova has not good teeth also. Some can still be treated and some need to pul  out already. He suffers every day with a toothache. Thus we learned that the dentist can't treat his teeth, because Vova can't breathe by nose. He breathes through the mouth all the time!When we asked him, why he did not tell us earlier.He just gave a shrug of the shoulders. 

We learned that this sweet guy has this problem for a long time since the childhood. Someone beat him in a orphanage and he has an internal trauma in a nose. He many times asked employees of the orphanage to help him. He was surveyed and there had to be an surgery. But years went and he didn't have it... Therefore he still suffers, can not breathe and because of it can't treat teeth which hurt to him. He can't sleep, can't eat. All he can do, it  suffer from the pain.

Vova volunteers in an orphanage 

About half the year ago the state worker that works with orphans, had to help Vova with it. We spoke and reminded many times. But everything is ineffectual. Time goes but the guy suffers... Therefore BOM decided to take an initiative and to help him. We prayed and the Lord met the need! We found the doctor that agreed to do a surgery for Vova. And the next, during a one day Vova made all necessary tests, was examined by doctors and made everything that was necessary for him during a one day. And in the same day he was put in hospital! Wow! Honestly, we  absolutely didn't expect that so everything very quickly will occur. Even some people (the state workers in work with orphans) were surprised that staff of BOM made everything during one day. Undoubtedly, in it the God's hand is visible!

Thus, tomorrow in 8.30-9.00 AM morning on the Ukrainian time. Vova will have the surgery.Please, will you pray for him, the surgery will be successful and Holy Spirit give peace in his heart?He is worry much and almost cries.Poor guy...

Tomorrow in the morning we can visit him, the doctor let us know.

But there is a small problem. We have to pay for everything. We explained to the doctor that Vova is the orphan, etc. But the doctor explained that in this hospital department has no meaning, either the orphan, or poor or rich, all have to pay. Thus, we kindly ask you to help this sweet guy with it. God already started to bless and showed His hand.We need to pay $400.We already have $175 for Vova.It necessary $225 more.

You can send your gift of love to Vova through the chip-in on the right side of our blog.Thank you so much!

After surgery when Vova will pass small rehabilitation and becomes healthy. We will need to help him with teeth. We don't know how much it will cost. But it isn't expensive, it`s exactly.For example BOM paid around $30.00 to treat 5-6 teeth to one of our guys before.But for Vova we do not know yet.

                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also we ask you to pray concerning Vova's registration. It`s one more big trouble this guy has!

The state worker that works with orphans, promised to us that will register Vova and everything will be good. We were glad. BOM helped Vova will get trade school, where he studies now. Every month he got a stipend. But this month he didn't receive. We were shocked that Vova didn't get a stipend, because he still not registrated! It was a miracle that Vova without having a registration, got a stipend before. That person, who had and is his duty, absolutely made nothing!It made us unhappy! Besides this, the  person also threatened him, that Vova remains on the street, if speaks much. We spoke with the director of trade school, where Vova studies, concerning a stipend. That they would resolve somehow this issue. 

It make us unhappy and upset.It screaming of soul! That government workers, who should to do their work with orphans. They do absolutely nothing! So, so sad...It breaks our hearts...

We ask you to pray that Vova would have a registration and God stood up for him.That God protect orphans and give a fear to government workers with regard to the orphaned children.Thank you!
