Heal Her Heart

Donation protected
The picture above was taken shortly after the girls came to live with me 9 years ago...it was our first trip together as a family



About a month ago, I remember sitting and praying that God would heal my daughter.  I prayed she would truly find Him.  Since then, everything has escalated. I realized last night that my prayer was being answered but not in the way I expected...God allowed things to get worse so we would have to take more extreme action.

My adopted daughter came to live with me 9 years ago...she is now 14 year old and still struggling to deal with the past and find peace so she can move on.  Some parents find themselves in a fight for their child's life in the form of a physical illness.  Our fight is for her heart and emotional healing. 

Mikki suffers from Reactive Attachemnt Disorder and from my research, RAD continues to escalate if not treated.  We have tried outpatient treatments and they have been unsuccessful.  We feel like a residential treatment program is the best option.  We found a Teen Challenge program that believes they can help her, I feel like it is an answer to prayer.  I believe she will be healed, I believe she will overcome this.

Here is a link to illustrate what life is like with a child suffering with RAD.  http://www.attachment.org/teachers/letter-for-teachers/

There are 2 ways to donate, this website or directly to the program which would also qualify for a tax deduction.  If you donate directly, DO NOT put her name on the check...there is an additional paper that would allocate it to her treatment. 

I realize not everyone will be able or led to donate...I ask if you would please pray God provide so she can attend this program and share our gofundme on your page.
