While we were spending time with the students, we learned about a new child who had only recently been brought to the school. She has cerebral palsy and, for the first ten years of her life, had been hidden away from the world. During our visit, she began experiencing multiple seizures every minute. Susan and Mackenzie immediately took her to the hospital, where she received emergency treatment. Thankfully, the seizures became less frequent, but she will need to travel to a larger hospital for further evaluation, testing, and a long-term care plan. We are now raising funds to provide her with a specialized wheelchair and other essential supplies that will help keep her safe, comfortable, and give her greater independence. While Susan and Mackenzie were at the hospital, Dylan, Aspen, and Beth continued serving at the school by distributing much-needed supplies to the students and sewing mattress covers for children who needed them. Of course, we needed a break to teach some line dancing! Dylan and Aspen did an amazing job teaching our students a little "boot scootin'." Mackenzie, Beth, and Aspen were all given KSL name signs too! And we have some incredible news! Thanks to your generous donations, the school's well pump is being repaired RIGHT NOW! Just days ago, the children were walking a 1.5-mile round trip several times each day, carrying heavy buckets of water back to the school. Because of your support, those long walks will soon be over, and clean water will once again be available right on campus. Every day reminds us that ministry often looks different than we planned. Sometimes it's delivering supplies. Sometimes it's sitting beside a hospital bed. Sometimes it's restoring clean water. And sometimes it's simply making sure a child, one who has spent far too long unseen, is finally seen, loved, and cared for. Thank you to everyone who has prayed, donated, and stood alongside Hearts That Hear. Your generosity is changing lives in ways we could never accomplish alone.
