Presley

Some of you have been following my niece's battle with cancer, and while I understand there are still bad times, the end is in sight.  My sister-in-law recently posted a bit of an update on Praying For Maren.  She also posted about a little boy, Presley, who is in an orphanage in eastern Europe and is battling Leukemia and in desperate need of a family.  My heart breaks for this sweet toddler and I encourage you to check out the information on him.  Perhaps you are able to give a few dollars toward a fund to help someone adopt him and perhaps you will pray for this little guy, alone in his battle with cancer.  Here is his page on Reece's Rainbow, which is a ministry to help orphans with disabilities and medical conditions find forever families.  I spent a long (and somewhat tearful) time reading about these precious children the other day.  I'll leave it at that, but I do encourage you to read Emily's post and visit the page about Presley.

I saw your sister-in-law's blog update, and I've been thinking about dear Presley ever since. I can only imagine how frightening it would be go through cancer without a family for love and support. My prayers go out to him, and of course, I'm praying for your precious niece and her whole family.

Thanks for sharing this, Emily! I have looked at that website myself and cried over some of the children there. One in particular has tugged at my heart and I've been praying for him. I will include Preston in my prayers. Thanks again!
