Their last child, Joshua, now 17, suffered oxygen deprivation and lives with cerebral palsy. He requires a wheelchair, needs daily medications to control seizures, and has a variety of other special needs.
Or as Chuck explained, the rewards come every morning when he wakes up Chelda and he sees what she will bring to another day. "She wakes up every morning with a smile,'' he said, adding: "She loves to laugh.''
Josiah was born with a condition that blocked the movement of fluid in his brain, causing his head to swell like a melon and causing a wide range of disabilities, including permanent loss of vision. He would have died, as his biological family in Haiti had no means to obtain the costly medical care he needed.
They delivered him to the Children of the Promise orphanage in Haiti so that he might know some comfort in his final days. A volunteer nurse took up his cause and arranged to have a shunt placed in his head and save his life.
Jan and Bud Bonnema of Prinsburg helped found the orphanage, and brought Josiah to the U.S. for medical care with hopes of finding a family to adopt him. When the Leiningers learned that no one had come forward to adopt Josiah, they did.
Chelda's medical challenges are no less challenging than Josiah's, and her story every bit as compelling. She had been with two different families before Jan Bonnema and the Children of the Promise brought her into the Leiningers' life.
There were and still are plenty of challenges. The young children can suffer seizures, and there are times in the middle of the night when they just need someone to hold and comfort them. They need help with feeding, their diapers changed and someone to give them a regimen of medicines every day.
A personal care attendant assists through the week and every other weekend, and the children attend school. That makes it possible for Chuck to maintain his full-time work with an area turkey farm, and Sandy her part-time job as a bank teller.
Though it came with a hefty price tag at $35,000, the Leiningers invested in a specially equipped van that is also large enough to safely accommodate three wheelchairs holding Josiah, and Chelda and Joshua. They make frequent trips to the Gillette Medical Center in the Twin Cities with the three. And of course, there's just the need to get around to school and places in town.
The van has a wheelchair lift, something the Leiningers know will become increasingly important as the children grow and they age. The time is coming when they will no longer be able to lift the wheelchair-bound children on their own.
Many in the Unity Christian Reformed Church in Prinsburg have long been humbled by the Leiningers' acts of self-sacrifice and love, according to Sarah Brouwer, chair of the church's Unity Missions Team.
The fundraiser is planned from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Unity Christian Reformed Church in Prinsburg with a taco dinner and silent auction. All of the proceeds will go to help with the costs for the van.

Modelo Chelada Especial is a classic michelada-style beer in a ready-to-serve can. Deeply rooted in Mexican tradition, Modelo Chelada Especial blends the classic ingredients of tomato, salt, lime, and authentic Mexican beer for a delicious, well-balanced taste. Brewed with the same quality and integrity as all Modelo beers, it's perfect for kick-starting your evening or relaxing at home with friends. Modelo Chelada Especial contains 290 calories, 0 grams of fat, and 3.5% alcohol by volume per 24-ounce serving. Best served chilled.
The overall taste is similar, like, but not exactly comparable to Yellow Chartreuse. But if someone's looking for a sweet yellow chartreuse substitute in a mixed beverage, I'd say give this one a try. It's affordable.
The overall taste is similar, like, but not exactly comparable to Green chartreuse. But if someone's looking for a sweet green chartreuse substitute in a mixed beverage, I'd say give this one a try. It's affordable.
The overall taste is definitely akin to that fennel and a niece flavor. If there's any sort of black licorice flavor in here, it's very subtle, less than 1%. I would say in terms of pepper, maybe less than 1% as well.

I/ve always made mine with Clamato juice, lime juice and either Modelo or Sol. Adding just the 4 drops each of Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce adds more depth to the michelada without overpowering it. Good suggestion.
I was raised in E. Los Angeles and tomato beer was the thing. Then I grew up some and made true micheladas. I love them. Now my daughter the heart doc scolds me for all the sodium just in the clamato juice. So I compromised I use low salt spicey V8 juice, more Picante sauce, more lime, and some crushed up cilantro. Yummy a heart-healthy michelada.
LOVE micheladas!!! After returning to the US from living in Mexico City for 4 years I bought 8 glass mugs like the ones you show to keep in the freezer for micheladas. I have turned so many people on to this wonderful Mexican drink, especially in the summer though I like them all the time. When you can get Key Limes, they are slightly sweeter and appeal to some. Great recipe and I had not thought to use Clamato, duh!
