I was one of Daniel and David's teachers at Faith Christian School. What a blessing it was for me to be a part of their lives and help them on their journey.

Thank you for what you do!!!! We pray for you often. I read this story with tears in my eyes! I am retired, but used to work in TB, which is a closely related disease, but manifests itself differently. They also used to be unloved and untouchable. Until 1949, when Streptomycin became available: now if they get streptomycin, they are cured.! Your love for these children shines like Christ's love for us. You truly have been sanctified.

Becky, You are amazing in all you do to help others, and help support this cause. The article was great. It certainly makes you count your blessings. Thanks for pointing out that even the poorest among us love the Lord and have gratitude in their hearts.

Thank you for sharing this. It is the epitome of what Pres. Uchtdorf has tried to teach us about gratitude and it really touched my heart. I’ll be thinking about these boys and their attitude for a long time.
