A new family that God planted in our path

Last Saturday the Lucas had some good friends for an evening meal and we were discussing the work of the Charity.  They mentioned that they had an extremely poor family living opposite them in the Street of my former home.  It was late last night when we visited after purchasing a supply of food from a local store.

Her name was Vali and she is very depressed with her home situation.  The father was violent and left, leaving her with 2 daughters to bring up alone.  The older daughter who is 20 has mental health problems and the 10 year old daughter was knocked over by a car several years ago leaving her with physical health problems.  They live in really small accommodation on just the equivalent of 86 pounds a month - such a hard life!!!

Vali was overwhelmed to receive a food parcel and gifts for both her daughters.    Pictures to follow on this one as I am leaving shortly for another full day.
