By the request and suggestion of some concerned brothers and sisters, due to the reason that some of those who are diligently praying for Cassidy and her family are from all around the world and may not know our circle of friends personally, the regular Blog posting may confused them because Dr. Jesse would sometimes refer to people by the names known to local circle only. Therefore, this new Prayer page is made for those who would like to just see the updated prayer needs of the Sheng Family so they can pray more specific prayers for them. So feel free to pass this site onto more prayer buddies to effect a greater prayer power. Thus the name of this new site http://PowerPray.blogspot.com

Need prayers for an urgent matter!!!

Very Disappointed!
Cassidy is very disappointed!
We need all your prayers in this matter.

As you all know, Cassidy has been soooooooo looking forward to return to her own school "Cliffwood". All the love and support from her principal, teachers and friends at Cliffwood was what kept her fighting strong all these months. But we have just found out in the last few days that there may be a problem for Cassidy to return to Cliffwood !!??!!

And it's not something Cassidy or any of us can do to help it. We were told that due to some complicated school board budget and issues, Cliffwood might not be able to take Cassidy back despite all the things done by the school, the medical specialists and the social workers team all working together hoping to soon bring Cassidy back to Cliffwood to be with her friends.

I remember when CaCa was in ICU after her 15 hours surgery, she was crying and saying "I just want my life back". And we told her to stay strong and fight hard so she can be back to her normal life sooner. And to our little princess, her life = her school, her friends, her home and church.

Now that she has fought the battle and at the victory over all her chemotherapies and getting a hang at her physiotherapies, when it's time she's looking at the light at the end of this long tunnel, when she's seeing she's getting so close back to Cliffwood and all her cheering teachers and friends, some heartbreaking school board and admin issues came up to kill the dreams that a little girl has worked so hard to catch. A kind-spirited little girl who went through bone cancer; endured big surgeries; suffered amputation; tormented by harsh chemotherapies; worked so hard at painful physiotherapies just to be able to stand up tall again on her own leg and prothesis and still having to take many more needles and scans and medical tests for the rest of her life,
all she asks for is to be able to come home to her brother and parents
and
be back at her own school where she was taken from by cancer in April of 2007.

Cassidy's heart is so broken now by this news, and so are ours. There has to be something someone can do?! The principal, teachers and kids at Cliffwood are all supportive of Cassidy's return and have been so looking forward to the day. The school is limited by some budget issues that they cannot hire personal worker to help Cassidy at school but Mommy Carmen is ready to volunteer 100% of the time that Cassidy is at school. CaCa is saying "I just want to go back to school and live a normal life! I lost my leg and a lot of time, I gotta go back to school to catch up with my friends!"

Would you please pray really really hard for God to show us the way and bring to us someone who can help Cassidy to return to Cliffwood? Would you, whoever reading this blog, pray that those who have power and authority to make a difference in this to have a heart to care and to understand how much this means to Cassidy.

When you are 7 years old, your friends and your school are your world besides your family. Cliffwood and all the teachers and friends are the whole world and life for Cassidy, they are what kept her going during the darkest time in her life, the thought of being back at Cliffwood one day is what kept our little princess fighting so hard all along. The love and support from Cliffwood is all her emotional support all these month.

Please don't rob this from our little girl who already endured and suffered some much in life! Please don't let some human-intercedable issue kill the dreams and future of a girl who's willing to work hard to make a difference in people's life despite her own disability.

Please pray for God to mend the broken heart in Cassidy.
Please help!
Please do something!

God will make a way when there seems to be no way! With love and strength for each new day, He will make a way!

I am sure God will bring you through this, in His own way, just as He did before!
