Our Story
A REMARKABLE STORY OF LOVE, LOSS AND NEW LIFE FOUND IN THE DARK
Sixteen years ago, Juli, a 25 year old nurse practitioner, moved from Los Angeles to a small village in Kenya to be a part of an HIV program. In 2009, she founded a hospice called Kimbilio where men, women, and children come either to heal or to be loved until they die.
On an ordinary Friday afternoon in 2016, a one-kilogram baby boy wrapped in pink was brought to Kimbilio. His name was Ryan, and he had been born prematurely earlier that week. His mom passed away while giving birth and neighbors miraculously kept Ryan alive on water alone for five days until they brought him to the hospice. Juli and her husband, Titus, brought Ryan to their home to care for him, simply wanting to make sure he would survive. When Ryan was 6 months old, he, along with two of his other siblings, were diagnosed with sickle cell disease. In Kenya, 80% of children with sickle cell die before they reach their second birthday.
This is a remarkable story of love, courage, and new life found within the dark. It is an invitation to all who read it to do courageous things.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT FROM BEYOND THE SKIES
Meet Juli
"WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO LOVE?"
Juli Boit is an author, community builder and non-profit leader working at the intersection of faith, global health, and human dignity. For 17 years Juli has lived and worked in Africa, founding and serving as International Director of Living Room International, a community-led nonprofit providing hospice and palliative care services to adults and children in Western Kenya. Through her training as a Family Nurse Practitioner, Juli has combined her dual passions of healthcare and social justice into a unique expression of love that is providing desperately needed services in an underserved community. That said, Juli would be the first to add she’s the one who has been loved the most by her patients and neighbors in her home village of Kipkaren — most notably by Titus, her Kenyan husband and their children Sharon, Alice, Ella, Geoffrey, and Ryan. Juli’s new book From Beyond the Skies, releasing this September, chronicles her journey of moving to Kenya, founding LRI and becoming the adoptive parent of three children with Sickle Cell Disease.
