Lubia. update

You may remember Lubia, a single mother with four children who we found living in an half constructed building , sleeping on the concrete floor. She was 8 months pregnant with complications.

For awhile life was much better for Lubia, she had a house to live in, she could pay the rent, she had a full time job. But now, her workplace closed, she has not been able to find another job, like everywhere jobs are hard to find here, she is not a skilled worker nor does she have an education so it is not easy for her to find something. Because she lost her job, she couldn't pay the rent. We were fortunate enough , thanks to a kind donor , to be able to pay the rent for her for one month. She was hoping to find another job but she then became ill, she has been having menstural problems and bleeding continually for a month now. We have sent her for medical care, she has medication but the doctor has told her she needs to rest as much as possible.

Being a single mother with four children, one a toddler, being worried about being evicted, not having money to pay rent for this coming month and not having any money for food and feeling the urgency to find work, as you can imagine , it is not easy to rest. We had to send her back to the clinic yesterday because she is still bleeding heavily, she feels weak, which is probably also due to not having enough to eat.

Taylee, her daughter has been identified as being malnourished and we have her on the Milk Program.

If anyone would like to help Lubia with rent for one month, it is $60 US , if you would like to help her with food for her four children, any amount , no matter how small , would be very gratefully received.
