RIGHT NOW, A CHILD IS PRAYING FOR YOU

This is Andy. He’s 8 years old. And he’s running out of time.
In a remote village called Olmaroroi, nestled in the rugged hills of Kenya’s Great Rift Valley, there lives a boy named Andy.

This is a place of red dust and scattered acacia trees, where the nearest town is a 30-minute motorcycle ride away along bumpy dirt roads.

There is no clinic here.

No running water.

No electricity at night except for the flicker of cooking fires.

But every single night, a small boy prays.

Andy ’s Story

Andy was born with a massive facial tumor — a benign growth that began small but never stopped growing.

It started near his jaw when he was an infant.

By age five, it had already distorted the shape of his face.
By age seven, it began to press against his airway.
Now, at eight years old:
He can barely eat solid food.
He struggles to breathe when he lies down to sleep.
He cannot attend the local school — not because he isn’t smart, but because other children are frightened by his appearance.
They whisper. They point. They run away.
But Andy?
Andy still smiles.
And every night, as the sun sets over the Olmaroroi hills, he whispers the prayer his mother taught him:
“Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name…”
He doesn’t fully understand all the words. But he understands faith.

And he believes — with every labored breath — that God has not forgotten him.

🙏 A Mother’s Love. A Mother’s Agony.


Andy’s mother, Amina, walks two hours each way along dusty paths just to fetch water from the nearest borehole.
She has sold their only goat.

She has borrowed from neighbors who have nothing themselves.

She has wept in the dark so Andy wouldn’t hear.

But she has never stopped believing.
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want,”
she whispers each morning as she gently wipes the drool from her son’s chin — drool he cannot control because the tumor has begun to affect his ability to swallow.
“God did not give me this child to take him away so soon. Someone, somewhere, will help us. I pray for that person every day.”
That person could be you.

💔 The Truth No One Wants to Say


Andy is suffocating.

Slowly.

Quietly.

Invisibly to the world.

The tumor that disfigures his face is not cancerous — but it is deadly.

It grows inch by inch, year by year, pressing against his trachea.

Doctors who examined him by photograph (the only way aid workers could consult specialists) said the same thing:
“Without surgery within the next year, this child will not survive.”
But here’s the thing:

That surgery exists.

The hospital in Nairobi exists.

The surgeons are ready.

The only thing missing is you.

📜 What Scripture Teaches Us

In the Gospel of Matthew, we are reminded:
“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

— Matthew 25:40
In the Book of Proverbs, we are called:
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”

— Proverbs 31:8-9
And in the Letter of James, we are challenged:
“Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”

— James 2:17
Andy is your brother.

Not by blood — but by the bond of our shared humanity and the God who created us all.

✝️ A Message from Pope Francis

“Each of us is called to be a protector of others, to protect all of creation, to protect the poor, to protect the little ones. Let us not forget: whoever saves one life, saves all of humanity.”
Today, you are called to be that protector.

🌟 What Your Money Actually Does

  • 🙏 $38 – Provides nutritional supplements so Andy can maintain his strength until surgery
  • 🙏 $56 – Covers the cost of a CT scan to map the tumor and plan the surgery
  • 🙏 $84 – Pays for specialized pediatric anesthesia during the operation
  • 🙏 $112 – Helps fund the actual surgical team that will remove the tumor and save Andy’s life
  • 🙏 $280 – Covers a significant portion of the entire life-saving procedure
You don’t have to pay for everything.

You just have to be part of the miracle.

🤲 A Sacred Opportunity

In our Christian tradition, we understand that charity is not just a good deed — it is the living expression of our faith.

A fruit of the Spirit.

A reflection of Christ’s love.

When you give, you are not just donating money. You are:
  • Becoming the hands and feet of Jesus in the work of healing
  • Living out the Gospel with your own hands
  • Becoming an answer to a mother’s desperate prayers
  • Restoring not just a life, but a face — a child’s ability to smile without shame

🌱 He’s Still Waiting. Will You Answer?

Tonight, in a small mud-and-wattle hut in Olmaroroi, when Andy struggles to find breath enough to whisper his prayer, he will look up at the stars through the tiny hole in the wall and say:
“Dear God, please send someone to help me. I want to go to school. I want to make friends. I want to see my mother smile without tears in her eyes. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

God is listening. And God is waiting — for you.

👉 [DONATE NOW – BE THE MIRACLE] 👈


$38 • $56 • $84 • $112

Whatever you give becomes breath in a little boy’s lungs.

It becomes hope in a mother’s heart.

It becomes a face that can finally smile without fear.

You are the answer to a prayer Andy has prayed every night for eight years.

“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.”

— Matthew 5:7

“Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

— Matthew 19:14
