Wil & Katie Hester
Daughter
Wil and Katie have been matched with a little girl in India who has special needs. They are all eager to bring her home and begin their lives as a family of 5. However, as a one income household, adoptions are very expensive and without the help of fundraisers and adoption grants they would be unable to bring their daughter home. They love the picture of Both Hands as they get to love on a widow, not just on their project day, but over the days and weeks before and after their project day, as they grow in relationship together. They also look forward to the day they can bring their daughter to Ms. Jeanie’s house and celebrate all that was accomplished through this fundraiser.
Jeanie
Irma Jean “Jeanie” recently lost her husband this year, just short of their 60th wedding anniversary which would have been this August 13th. They married young; Jeanie was only 16 years old and Tony was 17. She was dependent on Tony throughout their lives together. They had two daughters, but lost one at birth. While her husband worked to provide for the family, Jeanie stayed home, taking care of their daughter and the housework.
As the years went by, and Tony’s health declined, Jeanie became the caregiver. In the latter days of his life Tony was confined to a power wheelchair due to the loss of his leg. Their home, not designed for wheelchair accessibility needs repairs due to damage to the walls and doorframes. As Jeanie’s health has also declined, she’s unable to take care of home maintenance and repairs.
Jeanie loves her little dog Kobe, who has been a great companion pet. With limitations physically and visually, she still enjoys working puzzles and decorating. She believes and trusts that the Lord will continue to take care of her.
We met Ms. Jeanie because her daughter works with Wil. We were grateful that God brought her into our lives and look forward to helping her at her home.
