DAY THREE -Her grandmother who she lives with died today








This beautiful girl is Portia. When I arrived today she was crying. When I asked what was wrong they said her grandmother had died this morning, and she lives with her grandmother. Her father is dead and her mother is a drunk and can't/ doesnt take care of her.
Oh God! I cry out to you for this girl. So much pain already in her life and now there is more heaped upon her. Where will she go? What will she do? Please give her strength. Please bring a family member or friend to take her in. Please help her know she is loved and not alone.
Let me also introduce you to twins: Thabo and Thapelo. Makes me smile just looking at them. Thabo is very far behind his brother and couldn't write at all for the activities. He is in 2nd grade while his twin is in 5th grade. At first glance you would never guess their problems because Thabo constantly has the biggest smile that draws you in to him.
