 Please make dua' for Elton

One of our members' relatives has opened an orphanage in Africa and has been running it for several years. They are asking for people to make dua' for Elton, a very sick little boy that they have been taking care of who has HIV and TB. If you are interested in learning more about his situation, or would like to help in some way with his care please let us know and we will get you in touch with the appropriate person.
 
In particular, they are searching for a doctor who would be willing to care for him in the States; American Airlines has offered to fly him in for free.
Great News!
