First of all…we just want to thank those of you who so generously gave to Elly and his sons. The support and concern you showed was overwhelming, and we are just so grateful.
Last week we went to visit Elly and Timothy and Wesley in their home in Kawangware. We hadn’t been there since Violet passed away, and it was quite difficult to go, to be honest. But we knew that we needed to and really wanted to see the boys again. Elly and his sons met us at the road and walked beside our car as we drove into the slum. We parked the car at the usual spot and greeted the boys, who both welcomed us with shy smiles.
Walking through the door of their small home was difficult. Their place has lost it’s life and it’s depressing without Violet there. But Elly has been doing his best to continue to give his sons the best life possible and he is trying so hard. We bought some treats for Wesley and Timothy, and it was so much fun to see them peek into the bag, then close it. Peek into the bag, then close it. Over and over again! They are such sweet boys!! And they have grown so much since we saw them last!! We admired their school work and perused through their test scores and other work that they’ve done. Elly told us the story again about losing Violet and explained the many hardships he has faced since that day. Life has been very cruel.
But you guys, Elly is so incredibly thankful for the financial support you have shown him. He said to tell you that he feels so blessed that you helped him, even though most of you have never even met him. This money will help get him back on his feet and hopefully help him make a new start for him and his sons. He is so thankful for your prayers, and has asked that you continue upholding his family in prayer.
I wish I could better communicate his humble thankfulness, but just know that you have indeed been more of a blessing than you’ll ever fully realize. Thank you for allowing God to use you in this awesome way! You have Elly’s deepest gratitude!!
May God bless you.
