Francis will loose her Mother at 12 years of age. It's not if, but when. This is clear, so we give Esperanza, , medicines, pampers, fruits and vegetables and meats as a gift of simple human kindness. We have to be realistic, because sooner rather than later we will have a motherless 12 year old girl. Right now that is our focus and main concern, her future. Everything her Mother was able to give her during these past 12 years, will have to be assumed by someone else. Recognizing that the financial capacity of the persons who will take her in, are not at the level of assuming the basic costs of giving her a quality of life as she had with her Mother. That leaves us, Assisting Nicaraguan Society - The Children's Fund , as the only true viable alternative. (fb)

We served fish soup "sopa de pescado", today for two reasons to provide a protein that the children rarely eat in Veracruz. The second reason is that we are taking cooked food to Esperanza Hernandez who is fighting what seems a loosing battle with cancer and who is extremely anemic.
