when only a miracle will do

I want you to meet Wilington, one of the cutest little guys you will ever see! A year ago Wilington started having trouble with his left leg, they thought he had gotten bit by a bug then became infected, however, as time went on the infection became so bad that the bone started coming out by pieces. Because of their circumstances, the father wasn't able to do much but take him to the local hospital where they kept him for a few weeks but then sent him home with not much change. We visited him and his family a few weeks ago and learned of his condition and realized it was indeed something more. Last week, because of a medical group that was helping us from the USA, we were able to talk to the doctors and determine that he does need to go to a specialist and get a biopsy ASAP. We are now waiting to hear from the doctor to see what kind of help we can get for him. He needs a MIRACLE. I do believe that God cares so deeply for him and wants health for his children, The report was that if he doesn't get help very soon, he could loose his leg or his life. A few days ago, coming in to town for an X-Ray, Wilington brought us his pet turtle, he said that he may not live but he wanted us to take care of his pet. Needless to say, I love that boy, he is such a sweet little guy with a huge heart, it has been a very emotional week.
On top of being diagnosed with severe circumstances, he doesn't go to school because his family lives to far from a place that has a school, his mother left him and eight other brothers and sisters with his father to raise, yet when I look into his beautiful eyes, I see hope, if nothing else to fight a big battle with Jesus holding his hand!
Please pray for Wilington, he is 8 years old and needs a MIRACLE, a divine healing from our Lord. Thank you for praying!
