Greetings and Happy Friday!

This story comes from Dan Brose of World Relief, Zambia:

On January 8, 2004 Marie Jeanne, Justine, and Rosetta (all sisters) were standing in the back of a pickup truck. The driver was inexperienced, which resulted in him colliding with a large truck. All three girls were crippled, and none of them will walk again. When Marie Jeanne was hit by a truck, all she could think about was how her family would be able for pay for her hospital bills when both of her parents were not healthy. The accident broke her hip and her right leg, which causes extreme pain when she tries to walk with crutches. Since the accident her friends have been bringing her food and she has not been able to go to school. She was very, very excited about the wheelchair. The wheelchair is less painful to sit in than any of the chairs in the house, and now she can go to school and spend more time with her friends. She loves to learn about chemistry and medicine in school. “I want to be a doctor in a hospital,” says Marie Jeanne.
