Update on Baby Noor

Lifeover Ministries' founder Debbie Stone spearheaded the initial campaign to bring Baby Noor, to the United States for life saving surgery. When she was 10 months old, we had a chance to meet and hold her. She was absolutely precious.

A local newspaper recently published a bittersweet update about Noor, who is now a beautiful 2.5-year-old. The update mentioned that Noor's parents are now divorced and her father is remarried. Sadly, we were not surprised.

At Lifeover Ministries, we know that raising special needs children is difficult in the best of circumstances and, whether they are single or married, parents of special needs children need support networks and access to affordable services for their children.

Lifeover Ministries provides financial assistance to qualifying families with special needs children for out-of-pocket medical expenses, home and car repairs and children's recreational activities.

We are currently working on a detailed website, which will provide information for parents to apply for Lifeover grants. Please stayed tuned for future updates on our progress and feel free to contact us through this site, if you have any questions.
