This is Jamison.
Jamison is 10 years old. He was previously in a family until about a year ago when his father was killed in a gas explosion at his work. Jamison was also in the explosion and suffered severe burns all over his face, causing him to be blind. His mother took him to the hospital, but had to abandon him when his medical bills were too much for her to pay. Shortly after this he arrived here at PHF and has had a few surgeries. The most recent one was reconstruction of his nose where they are taking skin from his arm that will eventually be the skin they use to repair his face. Below you can see how his arm is attached to his nose so that the skin can grow to make this possible. Since he has been back, it has gotten longer! It is amazing was technology and medicine can do!
His arm will have to stay like this for a few more weeks until enough skin has grown for the operation.
Jamison is fascinated by the guitar and has a beautiful singing voice. He seems so happy, like many of these kids do, even though he has been through so much.His friends in the House of Love help him walk to different places and keep him company as he recovers.

You need to make a video with him singing in it! Give him a hug for us. Love, Mom
I agree with your mom. And if I knew Chinese I'd sing along with him. . . a little duet so to speak. But alas, my Chinese skills are aweful. So to remedy this problem I nominate you to give me lessons when you return.
I am always amazed at the strength, patience, love and joy some children in the most adverse situations are able to express. What is that song again? Oh yes, "Jesus loves the little children..." You can see it. God is in China, making changes through people like you, Tabitha! What a beautiful story!
Tabitha, i have to leave another comment for you! We are in the process of adopting Jamison, and it is always so exciting to see new pictures of him!! Thank you so much for posting about him! Bless you!
