And I'm not talking about your Mamma's favorite, Jif. I am talking about Medika Mamba. Watch this video.
RHFH was hooked up with Medika Mamba and we are feeding it to the malnourished children in the Rescue Center. And can I tell you something? It works! No wait...I'll just show you
This is Giliane. Click here and read her whole story first.
This is her the first week she was back here. She doesn't look that malnourished right? That is because she is so bad that she has Kwashiorkor and is swollen essentially from TOTAL ORGAN FAILURE. Do you get how bad that is? She was put on the peanut butter.
Here she is week 2. The swelling has gone down as her body is trying to reverse the damage. This part is very dangerous and many kids die from dehydration
This was last week, week 3 on the peanut butter. PRAISE JESUS!
This little girl has totally captured my heart. She is on the road to
recovery but still has a way to go. I held her for a long time last night and prayed for her. I sang songs to her and rocked her and told her how much Jesus loves her. I have the worst voice in the world but I didn't care. I want her to live so bad it hurts.
Every night one of us measures out the right amount of peanut butter (based on height and weight) and the kids eat it throughout the day.
If you are moved by what is happening here and want to help, here is how you can. First, you can pray. Pray like crazy for the starving kids of Haiti. Secondly, you can give. Tara Livesay (whose blog you should totally read) is running a marathon and raising money for Medika Mamba. Look on the top left corner of her blog and read her story and if you are able to donate, please consider it. Children are living because of this stuff.
This baby died in the middle of the night last night. He was only 6 months old and had Kwashiorkor. It was too late. I just want to scream and cry at the same time.
It's not too late for them. All four of these kiddos are on the peanut butter and are gaining little by little each week.
Will you help us change the world?

Thanks for the info, we made a contribution! mom & dad
Caroline, I ran into your mom today and she hooked me up with your blog. I am sitting here in tears! What an amazing heart you have for these precious children. I will be praying for you and for them. They are blessed to have you there. I pray that my children will grow to have a heart for missions and for the underpriveliged as you do. May God bless you!
