We just found out that the mom was able to get the medical visas needed for young Andrei to receive treatment. Now here is where PROJECT T.L.C. comes into the picture. We would love to help this young boy receive these much needed treatments. If he does not receive these treatments and does indeed go blind he will be outcasted by his own society. This is a young man who loves God and loves life. Would you please consider making even a small donation, maybe give us a coffee or going out to lunch for just one day, and together we can help this young man? Your donation is tax deductible as allowed by law, but most importantly it is 100% for the glory of God. Thank you for helping Project T.L.C. reach the children of Crimea.

When I read stories like this I wish I had an unlimited amount of money to give. I donated some of the money I made from collecting cans and bottles this week. I was going to say sorry that it wasn't more but then I was thinking that if we all gave $10.00 it would be enough :)
Thank you for advocating for this child! I will keep him in my prayers.
You should get in touch with The Grace Children's Foundation and see if they can help in some way or they might have advice. They bring kids to the US every year for emergency medical care but also take doctors overseas to provide life saving medical care to kids in orphanages who would otherwise die. I'd check with them and see what they could do for him. They partner with organizations and have a project where they connect the need with people who can help. Their website is http://www.gracechildren.org/
