Her 9 year old son received a kit last year and along with his mother and 2 brothers - aged 11 and 13 shared a one room home at the cost of $25.00/month in rent - utilities were extra!
They would put the mattress on the floor for this little guy, while the mother and 2 other boys slept together in the only other bed in the room. Across from the bed was a hot plate and about 25 yards outside the back door was an outhouse, which appeared to be shared by others in this neighbourhood.
Mom was delighted when we gave her a left over shower curtain which she is holding. She could use this to put on the concrete floor under the mattress in order to keep the mattress dry during the rains.
The three boys appeared happy and well loved by their mother. To know that the gift of a bedkit enriched their lives every so slightly was truly the best ending of an emotional two weeks.
From these 3 boys and their mother - thank you SCAW donors!
