Theodore
Witte
"Don't just see my legs not running;
Don't just see my hands not working;
Don't just see my mouth not talking;
These broken pieces are not me.
See instead the light in my eyes;
See instead my loving soul;
See instead my thinking mind;
These inner pieces are the real me."

Thank you for your generosity
In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’
​
Acts 20:35

- Support Theo's special nutritional needs
Future Needs
Theodore continues to be strong and full of joy. Of course some very important check-ups and future medical intervention will be necessary. In the meantime his care-taking needs and challenges are continuously evolving.
​
Currently Theo is in great need of new clothes, diapers, a bath lift, monthly toiletries and nutritional supplies, medication not covered by medical insurance, travel costs in anticipation of numerous doctors' visits, funds to join a special school in the local community, orthopaedic therapy equipment - to name a few. Theodore will also soon need surgery on his hips and the fluid drainage shunt from his brain would need to be replaced.​
​
In anticipation of the above needs, the generous monthly giving of any feasible small amount will be appreciated beyond measure.
​
If you are able to do this please head over to the donation page for Theodore's bank account details.
​
Most importantly, we ask that you keep Theodore, and his whole family in your prayers.
