Again, I would ask you to pray for something specific today. I'm asking you to pray for a little boy in Haiti nicknamed Bear. Bear needs medical care ASAP, medical care that connot be provided in Haiti. He has spina bifida which means his spinal cord developed incorrectly and a portion of it is currently exposed at the base of his spine. A surgeon is the US is already lined up as is a host family. But multiple attempts to get Bear a Haitian passport and a US visa have not been successful. He was born on borrowed time and every day he waits jeopordizes his life. He has been waiting to travel since before Christmas and if he does not receive his passport and visa today, he will not be able to have the necessary surgery in a timely manner and would have to wait another 2 weeks which may be time he doesn't have. So pray for this little guy who needs a chance that he can't get in Haiti. And pray for a woman named Lori as she advocates for him with both the Haitian and US governments. His story is currently at http://medicaladvocacyteam.blogspot.com/ .Update-Lori got both his passport and visa today. He should be able to travel to the US soon!
