URGENT, Please Pray for Carrington!

Meet Carrington

My friend Shelly just returned to the US with her two newly adopted daughters last night. Her daughter Carrington is 3 years old and ELEVEN POUNDS and in absolutely awful shape. I am crying thinking about this precious angel right now. The sight of her condition was enough to bring grown men (hospital staff) to their knees in tears.  If this doesn't make you want to jump up and scream and shout and DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE ORPHAN CRISIS, then nothing will. You can imagine Shelly's pure horror when she took her daughter out of the orphanage and saw her without all the layers of clothing for the first time. This is what she saw:

OH MY DEAR LORD why? How? How is this allowed to happen today?  This poor child neglected and dying for so long.  Can you imagine the horrific pain, loneliness and suffering this poor soul has endured?  I can't even begin to imagine.  Thank God he led the Burmans to this sweet girl.  Thank God she is now getting the medical assistance she so desperately needs.  She literally would have died if she had spent another day in that orphanage. She is very malnourished and struggling right now. It is a miracle this angel even survived the flight home.  Please pray for this sweet girl and her family and the long road to recovery.  Shelly asks for specific prayers for her health situation and that her frail, weak body will be responsive to the medical interventions she is receiving.  How many more children are in this same exact condition at this moment? I'm afraid the answer is more than I can handle. My heart breaks tonight for Carrington and for so many other BABIES.....these children are BABIES people! Praise God for rescuing Carrington and pray that he will bring others to rescue more children so they do not have to suffer in this way.

Sending up prayers for you beautiful girl...it breaks my heart that little ones have to go through such trials in this world. Thank you for being her angels and giving her the life she deserves. May God bless your family.
