    Yes, I so agree. Your daughter's story touches our hearts deeply. So easy to get caught up in our wants and so-called needs and forget what others in this world have to deal with. Please let us know how we can help and also.... PLEASE keep sharing. :-D

    When I posted this story, I never expected such a huge response. Thanks to all of you who have offered your prayers and your monetary help. I'm not one to solicit & I think it's probably not allowed on this board anyway, but I will ask Victoria what is needed most.
    I had not posted about his before because I was not sure of the security risks. However, most of the Americans there are on Facebook and I can't think of a more public forum.

    I think Kazakhstan will be the unifier of that part of the world anyway. They have made great strides since their independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. The President had a Pyramid of Peace built with a room for each of the world's religions. It is the only country in the world to voluntarily give up their nuclear arsenal of bomb grade materials..........and guess who got it! The USA now has it stored at Oak Ridge, TN.

    Thanks AnnaQuilts for the source to buy used diapers and rubber pants. I will check o that.

    Wow, this really is a beautiful story. Your daughter is strong and resilent and will go far (yes, even farther) in life. I'm so impressed with her willingness to give of herself in such harsh conditions. Here, in Louisiana, I complain about the cold and am afraid to visit my sister in ND! (No kidding, I just know I'll never return to warmth.) I know you are proud, and well you should be! Know that there are many of us who appreciate her giving, loving spirit and will keep her in our prayers.

    It takes a very special person to take on this kind of a

    loving task. My prayers go for her and all the other LOVING

    people who sacrifice the GOOD LIFE for these infants.

    I'm going to try this picture of a newsletter from Appletree House, the house where poor kids at risk are given a hot meal each day and time to play in safe surroudnings. It may not be readable, but I'm going to give it a try. This is both a heartwarming and heartbreaking story.

    Our daughter is not the only person in KZ giving love and support to the kids. There are several other Americans in various organizations and several nationals, as well. Below is Carrie, an American with a different organization and Rita, a local Korean, at the Baby House.
