Those of you who read my blog
know I help
the nuns and patients at
La Casa de la Segrada Familia
stay fed, diapered,
medicated, safe and clean.
A couple of weekends ago,
I brought some friends over to La Casa
to meet Madre Mireya, Hermana Miriam,
and the lovely patients that live there.
We wanted to share their beautiful
brand new baby daughter
Isabela with them.
Nothing like the wonder of a new life
to lift the spirit and dispel loneliness.
I admit I was a little apprehensive
at first. . .but that didn't last long!
Not only did these ladies get to meet Isabela,
but they laughed, told their stories,
and had a wonderful afternoon.
Thank you Jackie, Mario, and Isabela.
You brought a huge ray of sunshine into
the lives of EVERYONE at La Casa.
It was a great day!
Besides precious Isabela,
Jackie and Mario filled up their car with toilet paper
and other useful donations.

Sheets and towels and other linens were donated by
Jackie's mom, Marina, who owns the El Chante Spa Hotel.

It was so generous of them.
If you live in the area,
I'd like to encourage you
to stop by for a visit.
You have no idea how much
it will be appreciated.
Bring something with you,
20 pesos, a bag of papayas,
a package of adult medium diapers,
or whatever you like.
There is almost nothing they can't use.
You won't be sorry you did!

ReplyDeleteLook at the ladies faces looking at that sweet baby girl .....wonder what they're thinking, probably remembering when they held their own babies for the first time!.
Yes, Carolina, I too thought they were remembering holding their own babies for the first time. They just lit up the second they saw Isabela and were thrilled to be able to hold, touch, and kiss the baby.
ReplyDeleteI can't help but notice that the elderly seem similar to the babies, helpless and full of wonder. God bless you for caring.

It's true, isn't it, Nora? We end up - if we are lucky enough to grow old - just like we started out.
ReplyDeleteThank you, very happy to read your posts and comments.
Saludos!
Blessings on your work. Glad you got a few good donors.
