Urgent

Sister Alvear · #1 08-23-2007, 09:11 PM

Our son Raul Jr and his wife are in the states with their baby daughter. (2 years old) She has been crying for several days with unbearable pain in her arm. They took her to the emergency room today and had x rays etc the doctor has her scheduled for a cat scan in the morning. They said it looked like a tumor or something. Just at the desk they had to give them 200 dollars that was his last money.
They are in Memphis Tn with no money, no insurance and have no idea what to do. I told Raul Jr to try to talk to social services in the morning. My daughter in law speaks little English. They are desperate.
I would not tell this on a public board but I have written here so long I just feel like I am talking to family. Please pray...I told Raul Jr to come back to Brazil but he begin to cry because they need to do deputation as they are so far in debt. He just built that campground and several churches counting on the fact they could be in the states and now this has come up and they do not know what to do or where to turn. Raul Jr is the type to suffer and go hungry in silence.
By morning ( Bro. Alvear and I)have to try to come with some answer…we don´t know what to do…Please help us pray…

Jesus, bless this family right now. You are the great counselor; give them your direction. You are our healing; send them your healing, right now. Jesus, you are our peace; be the peace in their storm. You are our deliverer; Jesus deliver them into your perfect will despite of the opposing forces against what they are doing in your Name. In Jesus' name I pray!

I hope someone more in the know than I am can post about this, but there are programs in place where he's at that will allow him to get the help she needs without him spending a dime for it.

Another question....does he have American citizenship? This doesn't much matter, but there is a little more red tape if he isn't, but all the same, he can apply for help that will completely pay the costs involved.

Praying Sis Alvear.

Angels will be dispatched to this need.
God knows.

Raul Jr is an American citizen but not his baby or my daughter in law.

I really don´t know what to do except pray.

I (as a woman) hate to call pastores in the states asking for help and Raul Jr is to timid to do it. BUT I will call someone as soon as I know the baby´s condition for sure.

I'm not positive of this, but I believe that they would also be citizens if Raul is considered to be one because you are one.

For instance, I can have a baby in Brazil but that baby would be American because I am American.

He can marry a Brazilian woman (and I think the laws changed on this to prevent people from becoming American by marriage) and have a baby and that baby would also be American because he is American.

I think that's how it goes anyway.

When we were in Germany our third child was born and we had to have him naturalized to become an American citizen. We also made sure he didn't have dual citizenship. I think you have to file the proper papers to become an American citizen referring to children.
