One child, one prayer, one miracle
Anna-Claire Cusick
I’ll never forget the day I met Baby JS. He had been born just two months earlier in Kurintza, a tiny Amazon community in Pastaza, Ecuador, which can only be reached by a flight in a small Cessna plane. His mother has severe intellectual disabilities, and he had come into the world with only his grandmother to care for him.
When we arrived on our medical outreach, Baby JS was severely malnourished, surviving on nothing but oats mixed with water. There was no formula milk; that was far too expensive for a family with no income, and unreachable without a costly plane journey.
