A Global Appeal for Anthony- Online Silent Auction

Baby Anthony is a one year old baby from Liberia, West Africa. He has a mother and father that love him dearly, however Anthony was born with hydrocephalus.

Sadly, the life saving treatment he requires cannot be gotten in Liberia. Global Orphan Outreach has brought Anthony to the US on a medical mission and once the treatments are finished and he is physically stable enough to travel he will return home to his family.

A group of surgeons and hospital in the US have donated their services in order that Anthony may have the surgery. We need to raise funds to continue with his ongoing care.

We are putting on this silent auction and everyone, and their friends, are invited to participate.

Please make your bid in the comments section for the item in which you would like to bid. And make sure you attach your name to your bid.


The dates for the bidding are between July 26th- 31st. Bids will end on the evening of the 31st of July and payment can be made through paypal button on the blog listed below.

Survivor

Every day I am amazed how God works in all our lives. Last week has been a particularly challenging time for us. It was at that time, God brought a needy child into our lives whose conditions are so bad and her needs so high that one cannot walk away and say “I am too busy or I don’t have the funds”. This time it was baby girl that was abandoned and left in the arms of one of our FMN foster moms. Her birth mom is a prostitute, had not been caring for the child, and passed her off to the grandparents who cannot take care of her either. They heard about our FMN program, brought her to one of our foster homes, and left. You can see from these pictures that her special need is severe malnourishment. We don't know her exact age, we are estimating 6 months. Here name? - SURVIVOR (interesting how God works in our lives and redirects our focus)

Please consider joining our FMN family as a child sponsor and watch a child be transformed..

Here she is one week later...

See how little she is compared to her foster mamas hand? So small....Watch what God can do through the work of his hands using all of us to advocate for her.

News article in Liberia

(you will need to click twice on it to be able to read it clearly)

As many of you may know... much can be bought in Liberia for a price. Including so called-news paper reporters who write false articles about our organization. A year ago several such slanderous articles came out in news papers in Liberia that were not true.

There was much slanderous info written that I wont get into here. I never talked about it a year ago due to standing on this one thing- (besides it being adamantly false) Our outreach work speaks for itself. It is the living Gospel in Action. And anyone who feels need to defame it or speak falsely against the many caring people involved both on this side and in Liberia, have nothing better to do.

However there are individuals out there who seem to feel the need to circulate these old articles yet again to try to discredit our outreach ministry. So I will post the statement that was published by us year ago addressing this. This was a follow up news article that was ran in the Liberia newspaper about a month or so after the first slanderous articles ran. It was even endorsed by the MOH who were falsely accused of some things by these same so called reporters as well.

We at Global Orphan Outreach realize that where good is at work, evil works to resist what is good. We all knew when we committed to this that there would be times of trial.

We continue to be committed to the advocating and reaching out of many needy families and orphans in crisis.

Who can help Samuel?

This Samuel and his son...Samuel. They have an amazing story of survival. When Samuel was 4 years old, his dad and him were running from gun fire shooting at the people in his village who were scattering everywhere. Samuel said he picked up little Samuel and started running through a field. Sadly both he and his son were shot. And sadly both lost a leg to bullet wounds. Dad Samuel lost his right leg and his son lost his left. Little Samuel was also shot in the arm that did tendon damage.

Somehow they were able to obtain medical help along the way for amputations. However as young Samuel's leg bones continue to grow, they are pushing out through the end of his skin and causing infections. Samuel needs surgery to shave his bone down. He also needs help with his tendon so that he can use his hand again. Right now the tendon is pulling on his hand, cramping it in a position that he can hardly use.

I cant begin to tell you what an amazing and inspirational story shared with us in May and how heroic his father was and how much he loves his son.

So we have been asked to get involved and find medical help for Samuel.

If you know of a doctor or hospital that would be interested in this story and helping Samuel, contact us immediately. Also if you can help financially towards his trip here and the medical visa process costs, let us know.

Let us help Samuel heal. War should not rob a child of his health and well being.

Samuel is 12 years old.
