Anabel is a little girl who lives in Ghana. Her mother became involved in drugs and
abandoned her when she was three years old. Her mother later passed away, leaving
Anabel an orphan.
Anabel is now five years old and living in a private child care center. It is not
an ideal situation for a little girl to be living in an institution, but at least
she is being cared for and she is not simply another homeless child wandering the
streets. She has food and shelter and someone to watch out for her welfare. She
began attending school some months ago and hopefully she will be able to get an
education and have a successful life as she gets older.
Some weeks ago Anabel hurt her leg while playing with the other children. The
injury didn't seem too severe but as time went on it became worse and finally the
matron called John asking for the funds necessary for her to get proper medical
treatment. The amount needed was small but the care center insisted that it be paid
before she would be taken care of. Thankfully we were able to get the funds to them
promptly and Anabel received the care she needed. She is now fully on the mend.
A small emergency but even small problems are difficult when one doesn't have the
ability to get them taken care of.
For now things are well.
