Taking Care of Donnie


Donnie is in need of serious psychiatric help.  He has been moved to a new facility.  Yesterday Donnie was put on a new medication called Seroquel.  This medicine is an atypical antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia and/or bipolar disorder.

Having a fragmented personality, Donnie no longer only hears the voices in his head.  Recently he has started hearing voices on the outside.  Evil, hateful voices which have been instructing him to do harmful things.  Donnie is very confused as he has always had imaginary friends.  He still considers RED, a plastic toy monkey which he received as a present when he was two years old, to have been his best friend.  Losing his best friend, Red in California, over twenty-five years ago is a traumatic experience that still torments him today.
To no avail, Donnie has searched the world over to find another person to take the place of Red.

There are a large number of social workers, psychiatrists, nurses, doctors and a team of professionals that have fallen in love with Donnie and have decided to pour unimaginable amounts of love to make a difference in one precious little boy's life.  They are committed to rebuilding a broken down old man who has no will to live and contemplates suicide in a transformation process that will turn this little ordinary boy into a man who God wants to do extra ordinary things through.

If by chance you ever are interested in contacting Donnie, please feel free to write him at:

Donnie Harbeck
112 W. Cabrillo Blvd.
Santa Barbara, California  93101

In the meantime, I will be taking care of Donnie with a team of incredible medical professionals.  I will try to keep you posted on his progress as much as possible.  We value and covet your prayers.  Donnie just asked me, "Is it a sin to covet prayers?"

"Good Question Donnie", I answered Donnie, "Better ask God that one yourself!"

"Okay, I will."  Donnie said.

Now look what I did.  Now I am going to have to take Donnie to the ocean.  That means I have to walk across the street.

"Oh how He loves you and me!"
