Desperate Mothers

 

Yesterday Miriam received a call from a woman that she and Kamau had visited.  The woman has 4 children.  She called to say, with desperation in her voice, that she had been very sick last week, and when would we be able to take the children.  Miriam got the feeling that the woman thinks she will die soon and wants to see her children taken care of.  Another woman, also with 4 children, has become so sick that a friend is having to take care of her 4 children.  So right there, with 2 very sick women near death, are 8 children who desperately need a place to go to be cared for.  We expect to take 6-8 more children in a couple of weeks, and these may be the ones.
