Occasionally the baby is found alone and cold and if s/he has the energy crying. Often they are no longer crying, they are too tired. So what has this to do with vulenrable women you ask? It is their mothers...
What would lead you to abdnon your baby, this wee soul that has grown within you for nine months? What happened at birth or two months down the road that you leave your infant beside the road, near a police station or bus terminal? The dispair is beyong imagination, alone, a victim of rape, unemployed, you are hungry and your baby doesn't stop crying because s/he is also hungry. Then you consider that death may be better...
These last few weeks we have had two rape victims comes to Abraham's Oasis. The fa ily solution for one was to kill both of them! For the other, a young girl who has never been to school, guided her blind mother through the town, raped and comsidered mentally deficient, who in fact is simply unlearned...
Both mothers have been following intensive counselling sessions with the psychologist and have met the psychiatrist who has given one given medication to help her settle and reduce fear of being murder edby her family. Both have settled in, learning to cook, learning to care for their babies and making friends at the residential home of Abraham's Oasis.
So as we help the babies we help the mothers... And you dear supporters are right their with us and we are so grateful!
Thank you,
Ruth
