New Bed for Clara!

The kids at the Breakfast Program and members of the church have been praying for money to buy a new bed for Clara.  She is fighting Leukemia with intense chemotherapy.  The bed she was sleeping on was lumpy and bumpy.  Clara's body aches almost every day.  She really needed a bed that could provide support.  On Sunday Lourdes received the final amount she needed for the bed.  Today we all packed into the van and delivered the bed!

When we arrived Clara was napping.
Her sister was cooking beans.
This is their stove.

Clara was very surprised to get a new bed today!
As soon as we set it up, she laid down on it.

Clara and her husband could not stop smiling.
They were so happy!

We prayed and gave thanks that Clara will now have a comfortable place to sleep.

Clara prayed with tears of joy and gratitude.

Clara really wanted a picture of her newly bald head.
She had four days of chemotherapy this week.

Clara's new bed!
They even gave us pillows to go with it.
We also received sheets in a donation this week.
See how God works!

After prayer, we all piled out.

Clara, still with a smile, as we said good bye.
She will sleep well tonight.
