The burden Nevan and Kairah bear has been eased by caring neighbors, the Gospel for Asia (GFA) workers willing to share the load in Christ’s name, help alleviate their poverty, and Jimi can now live with greater dignity in his own space.

The burden they bear has been eased by caring neighbors, the GFA workers willing to share the load in Christ’s name & help alleviate poverty
Jimi, pictured with his parents, is very happy to be in his new home provided by Gospel for Asia (GFA) workers.

Though Nevan and Kairah’s son, Jimi, was 42 years old, they still provided basic care for him, such as feeding, clothing and bathing him. They loved their son, but his condition required constant hands-on care, keeping Nevan and Kairah from working regular jobs. It drained their energy and their resources, but what else could they do? He was their son.

Burdened by Care

Jimi was born with physical and mental disabilities. He couldn’t talk, walk or do anything by himself.

In a society where such impairment often brings discrimination and shame, Nevan and Kairah did the best they could for Jimi. Still, managing all of Jimi’s care brought daily challenges. Navigating the wheelchair around their small house was difficult. The medications he needed were expensive.

Many nights, they couldn’t even sleep. Jimi would sometimes disturb others at night by shouting and spitting, forcing his parents to watch over him and attempt to calm their son. Sometimes Jimi soiled his clothes and Nevan and Kairah had to change his clothes in the presence of others, leading to everyone’s discomfort.
