Grandmother/guardian says: “I knew I was going to die…”

We spent time in the tiny home of this grandmother who took over the care of six children when their parents and her husband died. In her own words:

After I lost my husband, then my daughter died. There was no one around who could help me. Then I knew life had come to an end. I did not expect that any of these children (my two grandchildren or the four orphans I had taken in) would be able to depend on me because I knew I was going to die. The burden was too great. My strength was gone.

But when the director came and found us where we are, and gave us hope by taking some of the burden that was disturbing us, now I can live a little bit longer. Otherwise, by now I would even be dead.

Since the school began to help meet the needs of these children, I have a lot of peace. I’m no longer stressed and I’m relaxed. I am very happy to have this peace.

So now, these children, every time they come back home they are smiling. You cannot even tell that they are orphans. The school has put a smile on them. I am so happy that the school, in addition to giving normal education and academics, is also teaching them the word of God. And they are now very peaceful children. I appreciate that the teachers have become parents to these children and these children no longer feel that they miss their parents. I am so grateful.

My joy is to see Liberty School progress and make advancement so that so many children like this one will be helped. Later the whole world should know that this is what God can do. I am so happy for the donors who stand with the director and school. I pray that they will love long and that they will be so blessed.
