Please Pray for Dunya. Her last medical procedure was an MRI which would give the care givers a greater understanding of the surgical approach. Dr. Dersch wrote the following about her latest situation
"Heard from the CV surgeon today. The cardiologist is working on processing her MRI for 4D flows and other parameters, which can take 2-3 weeks. He said they would then present her case in the multi-disciplinary pediatric cardiac conference where they would come to a final consensus on the exact surgical approach. They expect to have a surgical date for her sometime In January."
Please pray for these talented people as they carefully prepare for Dunya's surgery. We know that God worked in her behalf to bring her family and translator's family out of Tajikistan to the United States for the surgical intervention which could save her life. We believe He is doing the same with the preparation for surgery.
Please pray for the families and for Restoration Community Church which is currently providing for the families. Pastor Sean McSwin wrote ORH of the needs because of the necessary delays in scheduling the surgery for Dunya.
"The families are working with a local Lutheran organization that helps refugees and immigrants integrate into their community. They are working with them on a permanent residence they can move into but that has not been finalized yet. They hope to hear something this week.
In the interim, we may need to begin discussing financial assistance....to help the ongoing support of the families until they are settled in and employed. We have been in awe of our church’s generosity and support for the Zamindars and Azizis but know it will be difficult to sustain much longer."
Pastor McSwain wrote further.
"We have covered the rent through 21 DEC and can get the food as well. If they are unable to move into their new home which will be covered by Lutheran Services, we will have to extend their stay and may need some financial assistance at that time.
Mr. Zamindar should have an update on their living situation in the next day or so. Additionally, Pastor Adam is taking Zamindar (translator) for his driver’s test tomorrow. We have one of our generous church families who have donated a pickup truck to the families and the title will be transferred into Zamindar’s name tomorrow. With the vehicle and a license, both men should hopefully be able to go to work shortly."
Please pray for this wonderful Church family seeking to do the good works necessary to help Dunya with her surgery. Operation Renewed Hope has just sent $3000 for the church to say thank you for their love and faith.
