Dominique, our good friend of The Nest, has been a major support in Baby Lucy’s case. Thanks to her great efforts of fund raising in this special case, Baby Lucy now looks into a brighter future! Dominique puts the last couple of days into words:

“Unfortunately, Lucy couldn’t get operated on Monday because the hospital did not do some major x-rays and tests in time. But she finally got operated on Wednesday and was already in Irene’s arms at 6pm. She didn’t even need to go into intensive care unit. She is really tough! I believe the doctors managed to save her uterus and anus. Thanks to everyone for your generous support – Dominique”

And thanks to each and every person who has been thinking and praying for our little one.

We posted Baby Lucy’s story HERE a while ago; others have expressed their compassion HERE and HERE.

And many many others have shown their solidarity by supporting directly towards a fund for Baby Lucy. All those wonderful supporters out there have made it possible that Baby Lucy will be operated today! She will undergo pain once again but this time it will be for her well-being and we all hope that she will be much better much sooner. Take a minute to think of Baby Lucy today.

Jedes Jahr ist es während der Monate Juli/August so kalt in Limuru, dass die Temperaturen nachts schon mal bis auf 5°C fallen. Tagsüber bleibt es wolkig und grau. Da Limuru auf beinahe 2000m liegt, spürt man da den “kenianischen Winter” schon kräftig am eigenen Leibe. Die Nasen der Kinder laufen, die Stoffwindeln trocknen schlecht und das Wasser aus den Solartanks bleibt kalt. Brrr…..

During the months of July and August night temperatures in Limuru (located at nearly 2000m) can reach a low of 5°C/41F. During the day the sky hardly clears up. This is the time when you really get to feel the “Kenyan winter”.  The kids have running noses, the nappies don’t dry easily and the water from the solar panel tank stays cold. Brrr….
