John Pedro, 10 years old with a disease that kills millions!

By the grace of God John Pedro will live to see his 11th birthday, but not only that he will live to have a family. Unfortunately there is that big possibility that he will die.
I volunteer at a house called the Refuge House during the week here in Brazil and this house is a home for kids who have the AIDS and HIV virus. Their parents either cant take care of them and cant afford medication or they were rescued from the streets of Brazil.
We were inforned last week that John Pedro is no longer responding to the medication he was taking for the AID/HIV virus and that they have to find another medicine to keep him alive. There is only one other medication that they can try to see if it works, but if it doesnt then he will die. When I first found this out I was mad. John Pedro is the exact reason I came here, to give hope, and love through Christ. So God could give these kids and families a better future! I dont understand why kids have to go through hard times like this, why we/they have to be born with diseases. But I wasnt called here to understand or question Gods plans. In the midst of all of this God has His plans for John Pedro's life and He knows what He is going. Of course He knows what He is doing, He's all knowing and has all of the plans of His children in His pockets.
So please please. Pray for John Pedro. Pray for a miracle. Nothing with happen outside of Gods plan! So please pray,
Blessing to you and your Family.
