Every morning, the doorbell rings and another need awaits us. There are certain times of the month when the needs seem to be more, and that is when many young mothers with their babies come to our door. Around this time of the year, when it gets so hot, many of our kids suffer with skin fungus and respiratory problems. They keep us and the Mother Angela Clinic busy. There is such a need for diapers, powdered milk, and baby clothes.
The difficult thing is that many of these mothers are so young, and they have babies to care for with no fathers to help. Some of them already have four or five children to feed and clothe. Some of their kids come to us for our activities. We try our best to share the mercy and love of God, to help them have self respect and to take control of their lives. Pray with us for these young mothers.
