Little Sharon

This is Sharon. Another sweet girl that Brenna and I met on our first day in Uganda.

Several weeks ago, Sharon was knocked down by a boda (Motorcycle taxi) and then ran over by a second boda, breaking both arms and one leg. It appeared that both arms needed surgery and a plate attached to the bones. Thankful no surgery need to be done on the femur, it only required a cast. All together she had FIVE fractures, had some initial internal bleeding, but no bleeding in the brain. She was in intense pain.   As Sharon lay in the hospital in, NGM created a funding account for her to raise support, as her family had no money to pay for the sugary and medications. They appeared to be the poorest among the poor.

She was in the Jinja Main Hospital in Uganda, but as she did not receive the medical attention she needed, Paul Hunter went through great efforts to discharge Sharon from there and transport her to IHK (international hospital Kampala) Where (Thanks to the love of those who have volunteered to contribute to the medical expenses) Sharon underwent the sugary she needed. 

But she has healed amazingly! And that following week we got to take her to Kampala to have her cast removed. :)



I think she was pretty excited to get that cast off her leg :) Thou I'm sure there was some fear when they took the blade to cute the cast off. And in a year Sharon go back to IHK to have the screws and plates removed from her arms.  Praise the Lord!





We made another visit to see Sharon a week after her visit to IHK to get her cast off.  We had received a call from her family that one of the surgery incisions in her arm had broken open and had started to leak puss. Andrew Snyder, came to the rescue. A little antibiotic ointment, and a bandage, and she was good to go.





It's incredible to see how God works and brings people into the lives of Paul Hunter and the people of Next Generation Ministries.
Because Sharon was brought into their lives, she got the help she needed. And by God's grace, this little girl is alive...and walking again! I think God has great plans for this precious girl. :)
