Kevin’s journey from adversity to opportunity is a testament to our great God who hears and provides through His people.
Kevin’s challenges began before he was even born. His mother lived in poverty and became pregnant at a young age. When Kevin was only 18 months old, she abandoned him, leaving him with his elderly grandma, Josephine.
It was then that Josephine noticed Kevin’s physical disabilities, particularly in his left arm and leg. Josephine took him to the hospital where Kevin was diagnosed with arthrogryposis, a condition where some of the joints move very little or are frozen. She was determined to do all she could to help him but the expensive treatment was beyond her means.
Josephine persevered and was able to send Kevin to a special needs school. He learned very little and was falling behind in every area of learning.
Kevin’s turning point came when Hope for Children Ministries intervened. We were so impressed by Kevin's resiliency and found sponsors who were eager to give Kevin an opportunity for true success.
After enrolling in Hope for Children International School, Kevin began to learn and grow. His progress has been so amazing that he is now in Grade 4. His sponsorship not only ensured his education but also provided essential support for the family's basic needs. Kevin is able to live at the school during the school week and go home to help Josephine on the weekends.
Kevin’s life has been hard, but you'd never know it from his big smile! He is an example of how empathy and love can transform the life of a child and a family. This is the hope you help bring to the children involved with Hope for Children Ministries.
We need your help to impact even more lives like Kevin’s. Please help us hit our goal to raise funds for an additional school building we need to accommodate the kids moving to a higher grade. We are only $50,000 away from our goal!
To serve as reminder to people like Kevin and Josephine about what God can achieve through his people, we launched a Wall of Hope. I want to add your name to the wall when you give to make this building a reality.
