The cold has really caught up with me, i cannot stop shivering, i have the worst sore throat and my head is pounding. Unfortunately i do not have the strength to type up my day today, but hopefully tomorrow is a new day and i am hoping to treat the niñas with Dunkin Donuts.
I took the new girls who have only been taken in about 2months, including the 2 who arrived the day after me shopping for new jumpers, underwear and socks and warm trousers, it has been very emotional and as i type i struggle to hold back the tears. I wish i could do more as these girls are so under nourished, some are 4yrs old and look 2yrs old. I have tried so hard to keep my emotions under control, but as i watch these girls and how much they thank me for a £3 jumper, for socks and underwear they at most cost me 50p, my heart breaks.
We are so lucky, so blessed and i know some of you reading this may not even realise just how much, but it has been really hard to watch, i have since found out some of these children have been raped by their own parents, beaten from birth and left in the streets to fend for themselves, its just so hard for me to hear and then watch them playing around and laughing at the top of their voices i just want to bring them all home with me.
We have all had it tough i am sure, but these children have been saved for now but there are many more out there. I wish i could do more and i pray for them but i think my emotions have certainly got the better of me but i have to stay strong for them and i must make them laugh as much as i can in these final days i am here. I knew it would be hard but i guess today really hit home for me.
Tomorrow is a new day and i hope to have my strength back and enjoy my remaining time here.
