Sharing a Gift
02/17/2009 — Christopher R. Wigginton
Following is an e-mail update we received from Milla Happonen of Caring Hands in Uganda:
Robert comes from a family of five kids. His mother’s HIV infection caused her medical expenses to be so high that she was unable to pay for house rent. She ended up sleeping on the street with Robert. The other children were put in an orphanage. A good Samaritan allowed her and Robert to sleep in a church. We taught her to make beads and slowly she regained her strength. She got her children back, pays for rent and has enough to eat. The children went to school this week.
