Urgent Need and Prayer Request: Ndayishimiye

An immediate need arose the moment we arrived in Minembwe. Ndayishimiye (N-de-shim-e-yea), who at four months old is the youngest of the orphans, needs a lot of help.

In September, Ndayishimiye became completely lethargic, so we sent him to the hospital. Ndayishimiye was severely anemic and had to have a blood transfusion.

We found out that up to this point, Ndayishimiye had been fed tea, but he’s doing much better now that he's getting a healthy amount of formula, plus some of Emilee's milk.

We’ve been making up the formula each day, and one of the other children comes to our house and picks it up three times a day, but Ndayishimiye's going to need to be on formula for a long time. .

The kids house needs a water filter before they can begin to make the formula themselves. We have filters, but we are waiting for buckets to be transported up here.

Ways to help: 
* Giving via LaOlam, designated for baby formula, or the new mama's wages.       You can give online or mail a check to LaOlam, 11180 North Rd,                         Leavenworth, WA 98826
* Prayer for another mama to help supplement breastmilk, along with Emilee. 
* Prayer for wisdom regarding Ndayishimiye's long term care. 
* Ndayishimiye had some trauma to his left shoulder from birth and he can’t  move it; it seems to be painful if jarred. Prayer for wisdom on how to handle this situation as well.                 

Thank you!
