Joy’s mother was admitted to hospital before her daughter was even born. This was not how she had imagined motherhood. Instead of sharing mornings at home and watching her daughter take her first steps, there are the white walls of the hospital ward and the knowledge that her time may be running out. The illness has changed the woman’s appearance, hiding her face beneath the weight of a huge tumour. Yet whenever Joy appears in her hospital room, her mother’s eyes are filled with the purest love, and for a moment, thoughts of her illness disappear. The Sisters bring the little girl to see her mother every week so that she can spend precious time with her daughter.
Joy is still too young to remember these moments. But we believe that the tenderness she receives from her mother now will give her a sense of security, and that this love, even though it is shared in haste and through pain, will stay with her for the rest of her life.
We do not know how this story will end. For now, Joy is under our care at Kasisi. In addition to the love and care she receives from the Sisters, she also needs practical, tangible support. She needs nappies, formula, medical care, and a safe roof over her head. Joy is waiting for you in our Urgent Adoptions section.
A school kit includes notebooks, allowing children to study at home. It also includes a pair of shoes, which, if not for Kasisi, they would have to borrow from their siblings. And finally, a delicious, healthy sandwich in the backpack, which gives them the energy they need for their studies. Just like the sandwich their mother would prepare. You can pack one into their backpack today—from right here, from your own home.
