Will My Baby Live?
Yamesia had a scare when she was five months pregnant with her daughter Naura. Her baby was later born with a cleft lip. During pregnancy,” she told CBN, “I kept working with my husband. We collected rubber and firewood to sell. I remember one day I started bleeding after work.”
Months later after Naura was born, her parents wondered how she would survive since she wasn’t gaining weight. “I am always careful when feeding Naura,” said Yamesia. “I remember one day she choked while drinking from her bottle. She started sneezing, and I got so scared.
I love her so very much.”
Yamesia and her husband live on a remote Indonesian island called Nias. Naura’s dad, Yeriadi, worked hard to save for an operation to repair the cleft lip. But there was never enough. “I worked collecting rubber. I work extra hours collecting firewood to sell,” he said. “The operation is so expensive.”
Then one day a local midwife told the couple about Operation Blessing. Thanks to YOU, we paid for Naura to receive surgery to repair her cleft lip. “I was overjoyed when I heard that Operation Blessing would help with my daughter’s surgery,” said Yamesia.
Now as they look at their smiling baby, the happy couple no longer worry about their daughter’s health or future.
“I am deeply grateful to God,” said a grateful father. “I want to thank everyone who supported Operation Blessing. Because of you, my daughter Naura had her surgery.
“Thank you so much to everyone who supported Operation Blessing and helped my daughter with the surgery,” added Naura’s mom. “May the Lord Jesus bless you all abundantly.”
