The "Least of These" need your help!

The Jesus Menino (Baby Jesus) Community of Brazil is the faith inspired apostolate founded by Tonio Tavares De Mello in 1990 to provide for disabled children.  On a visit to an institution for the disabled, Tonio was appalled by the neglect and cruel treatment he witnessed as a young man, and that visit changed the course of his life.  He went on to adopt 42 of the children as his very own.  Many of the children were survivors of botched abortions, and were left to a life of misery, pain and suffering.  Today, Tonio's children are cared for and loved as children of God.  In all, 117 children, and adults are provided for in three different communities in Brazil and Portugal.  They are in desperate need of donations to sustain this mission and to grow.   Money is needed for school supplies, clothes, medical needs and food.  I had the privilege of meeting this remarkable man, and three of his adult sons at the Brazilian Embassy in Washington.  They were the most joyful Christian men I have ever come across!
