Lil Abigail..

I met sweet Abigail 3 years ago. She is a special needs child who is severely malnourished and has mild cp. We were supporting her family for some time but lately discovered that her family says she is vexed and should just die. (A tribal belief in evil spirits due to her handicap) We have been advocating for them to allow her to come into our care and we would care for her but they have refused mostly because we took their funding away as they were not spending it on her. They would also either sell her food or give it to her baby sister who is 3 yrs younger than her and twice her size. Abigail is 6yrs and 10lbs! We also discovered that the clothes we would donate would be either sold or given to her sister as well. How sad is that?

Please pray for Lil Abigail. We are now trying to involve the various government ministries who could intervene on her behalf. With it she will not live much longer. Every child is precious and deserving of life and a family who loves them and treasures them. Abigail is in much need of this.
