The little girl who belongs to these beautiful eyes is Yasmin Diallo. She was born in the US, but her family came as refugees from Mauritania, Africa in 2000. They were the first refugee family we ever met and they changed everything!In two weeks Rick and I are moving out of our house and into a brick two-flat with Rick's Mom. The goal is to downsize and to be able to put more money into helping refugee families. Some friends will be renting our house for a year or so, and then we are hoping to be able to help Yasmin's family to sell the very small house they have and to help them buy our house, which has plenty of room for everyone and even a separate living space for Yasmin's older sister Kadiata who got married this past summer. I like the idea of keeping our house in the family, and the Diallos are definitely our family. Please pray for Yasmin's Dad, Yero who fell at work a few weeks ago and broke his hip.

I'm glad to hear that they can move in to your place. I hope things are going well with getting ready for the big move.
