Once again, thanks for all of the kind words guys. Spent time today getting him his SS# today. If you think Walmart is good for people watching, hit that place up near the first of the month. I ended up with a 1 year old on my lap the whole wait. His strung out mother was sleeping in her chair across from me and too busy doing that than taking care of her child. He was dirty, sick, and needed some love, so needless to say I picked him up and rocked him for a while. I don't think the black women around me were very happy about it. LOL
As for people asking if Safi needs anything, his basic needs are covered. He has clothes, a roof over his head, and food on his table. I can't really think of anything he is is need of right now, other than things like someone to teach him to drive and basically just people to donate their time to show him around and teach him stuff. Everything is a learning experience. Last night after dinner we had a class on the dishwasher, microwave, oven, and stove.Things that are hard to donate without being here in OK is what he really needs. I did create a site for people to donate money to help him purchase clothes and anything he needed when he first got here, and we raised about 800 dollars last time I checked. Some of that money has gone to a garage sale dresser, razors, and some shoes. I can't thank all those who have donated enough; I can't truly convey how thankful I am for all of the help. Safi defiantly can't comprehend the outpouring of support either; he has told me many times that even his own brothers wouldn't have done what we have for him. I know Safi would have done the same if the roles were reversed, so I have no problem giving what I can.
The first time Safi has ever been swimming. We bought him some trunks, and my nephew did his best to teach him how. He asked if I would take a picture so we can send it to his family in Afghanistan. He said they wouldn't believe him unless they saw the proof, so his next email will contain this pic. lol
Thanks again, and I will update again soon.
