The Nest Home Limuru – An appeal to all bloggers.

Please take a look at this baby. Her name is Lucy. The story of how she came to nest home home is one that is not easy for anyone to read, but read we must.
Baby

She was a few months old when she was raped. Defiled. Mangled.
The horror of what happened to this little baby is indescribable. I only ask that you look at this picture of her,

Baby Lucy

and think of what good we can all do to counter the evil that could befall her.

She is being cared for by the wonderful caretakers at The Nest Home in Limuru. Please keep her in your thoughts and if you have the means please donate to the Nest.

This is just too horrible – there is nothing more to say except to give our support.

The medical costs to treat her must be enormous (Healthcare in Kenya is not cheap),

I think we need to do more to help the less fortunate members of the society. I felt guilty walking past crippled beggars in Tom Mboya street today, yet I could have done something to help the them ease their suffering. God willing, I hope one day I will make these people’s life more meaningful.

How is little Lucy doing now that it’s a year later. Do you have a current picture. I lived in Nairobi and cared for a little one that also had been badly abused..
