Thanks to the Tenderfeet emergency fund, Mama Margaret was able to get quality medical treatment for the leg. Dressings were applied and tended over a period of many weeks.
The burn has healed up now, though the scars remain. The emergency fund has come to the rescue of many Tenderfeet children. Donations to the Ten for Tenderfeet program allow the emergency fund to exist.
We've also recently set up an orphan's fund to help some of the school's neediest children. Orphans often live with relatives or good samaritans who have difficulty absorbing the extra expense that comes with the orphan child.
Three such children are Fredrick Muchangi (10 yrs), Yvonne Lituiza (5 yrs), and Dickson Mberia (4 yrs). These children were orphans who lived with a good samaritan unable to care for them anymore. They are currently staying with Mama Margaret.
Thanks to a kind sponsor, as well as the orphans fund, we can afford to come to the rescue of children like these and several others who attend school but need extra help outside of the school.
Especially now that food prices are higher than ever, the orphans fund can ensure that a sweet orphan girl like Esther Ngina (see picture) doesn't suffer because of going without meals.
Esther, who lives with an Aunt that struggles to eke out a living, sometimes came to school crying because she was so hungry. Now we are able to help her to get the food she needs. Cornerstone Methodist Church had a generous love offering in September to boost the orphans fund.
