My Name Sake

Posted by on March 26, 2010 in Children's Home

When I first saw him in February I was not sure he would even live another day. He was very frail and sick. He was a throw away child–just like the other children we have in our care. He was born at our hospital and was unwanted. I was told by Peter Scarborough that they had named him. His name was Carl. I took a long look at him and wondered if little Carl would even live.

I got a report that his caretaker, Ribka, was doing a great job in his care and he was improving. He might make it. I was very happy to hear this child was improving–not because we shared names but because he was not expected to survive. He was a fighter and has a will to live.

Today, I got the photo of little Carl–he is with Ribka, his caretaker. He really looks great. I am so proud of Ribka for her faithful care to this little life. She saved his life.
