A couple of months ago, a passerby found a box on the side of the road, near the entrance gate to the Lewa Children's Home. Intrigued to hear noises coming out of the box, he looked inside and what he found was astonishing: kicking and screaming was a baby boy who coudln't be more than 2 weeks old. He brought the baby to Lewa, where he has been in Phyllis' care ever since.
The boy was named Luke, because of how lucky he was to be found that day, just instants before a big storm started pouring down. Thankfully he was healthy and, with the good care and love provided by Phyllis and her team, he is now doing very well. He now has a loving home and many brothers and sisters who can't wait to play with him.
It is thanks to you that we are able to care for Luke and so many others like him. Some of them were left at the hospital, by desperate mothers who hoped their baby would get a chance at a better life, escaping the cycle of extreme poverty they grew up in. Some of them came from abusive households or situations no child should go through and were placed at Lewa by the children’s court.
With your generous support, we are able to provide a loving home for them, so they can grow up healthy and happy and have access to a quality education that will open doors for them and allow them to follow their dreams.
We couldn't be more grateful for your donations. Thank you for thinking of our children. Their future is brighter because of you.
Sincerely yours,
Sylvia Costantini
