So I have never done a Teamwork Tuesday post before, but I have been meaning to try it! So the main of idea of the Teamwork Tuesdays to make a post about the child of that Tuesday every week! "The team" has a special calender type thing that has children listed on it for each Tuesday! So today's child is Brent.
On June 21st, 2005 a little boy was born. Little did this baby know that he would be "Diagnosed" with Down syndrome & sent to an orphanage where this thing we call love would not be shown to him.
Brent lived in this orphanage for 3 years, became familiar with his nannies and other children in his group. This is what Brent knew as normal, was this lonely, orphanage. At age 3 Brent's time ran out at the "Baby House" now everything was going to change, there would be no familiar faces, people, or food. Everything he once knew as normal was now gone. Brent was transferred to an adult mental institute. Which is no place for a sweet baby like Brent. They shaved his head & he spends his days in a crib. He is blessed to be part of a program where he gets some one-on-one stimulation.
I find it absolutely encouraging to see this 7 year old boy that has never know any love....SMILING!! Brent is smiling! Do you see this happy little grin on his face? Brent has found some reason to smile when his fate has been decided for him. When his tomorrow looks just like yesterday & the day before. But guess what? His tomorrow could be changed by YOU! :) You can make his future bright & full of adventure & new things! Please consider Brent! He needs a family to love on him!
