Disabled Street Kids

Fred has been meeting with some of the disabled street children in Lira. Jimmy is an 28 year old that was abandon since childhood. Fred said Jimmy is an amazing person considering all he has been through. Jimmy gets up early to beg for money on the street corners and then wheels himself to school returning in the evening to the street corner. Jimmy said he has had many visions of God and knows God has a plan for his life. Jimmy is crippled by polio and can barely use his hand at this point. Dick was the boy we met on the streets when we were there visiting last summer. He was always smiling. Fred is getting to know Dick better to learn what his needs are and how we can help. Dick has been on the streets at least 2 1/2 years. But I have a feeling it has been much longer.
