A Casa Daniel Update

This smiling little ten year old is Daniel Simon. He is living at Casa Daniel... our new therapy home where the plan is for him to stay for one year. The transition has gone well thus far. He gave me a tour of his new home including his room and how clean he was keeping his closet...



Daniel is under supervision at all times right now and is always in the sight of one of the adults working with him. When I arrived for my visit, Daniel was working on special cards for the two adults who would be there later that evening. There have been a lot of projects, behavior role plays, learning to help with household chores and more in the past two weeks...



As Daniel learns to identify positive and negative emotions and learn how to respond to them as well as to follow simple social rules, we will begin to go deeper and pray that God will heal the deeper hurts and fears in his heart.

Pray for Daniel and for each of the adults who are working with him daily. He has had a smooth transition so far, but we know that the storm is brewing under the surface. Pray that if that storm breaks that the staff will be ready to respond in the right ways and reassure him that he is loved and safe. Thank you for your ongoing prayers for this young man.
