Helping Redempta

Picture
Sometimes people in need come across your path. Every winter I travel to Africa to get away from cold winters and find new ideas for my novels. And when possible, I help with humanitarian projects. For the past couple of years I've been supporting a young teenager in her studies and this year I met her mother.

Let me introduce you to Redempta. She's a beautiful 40 year old Rwandan mother of four children, abandoned by her husband. Two years ago her twelve year old daughter Amandine became sick from a tumor on her spine and ended up in a wheel chair. Redempta had to sell her import business to pay medical bills.

Picture
Today Amandine walks again with difficulty, which is considered a miracle. But, the family barely manages to survive. Redempta cannot provide enough food or clothing for her children. They subsist on one small bowl of beans each day and sometimes one bowl every two days.
They live in a primitive house with no running water.
Picture
I've joined with my publisher to fund Redempta in re-starting her company and in funding her daughter's schooling.

The world has an enormous number of human needs. It seems we should help those that come across our path.
