Abandoned toddlers brought to Orphanage
New children Emanuel, Dayana Marisol and Germán Alejandro
We have a new little family at the Orphanage. They are the Aragón Ruano family. Dayana Marisol is 15 months old, Emanuel is 4, and Germán Alejandro is 7 years old.
D.I.F. the Mexican Social Service brought the children to the Orphanage on September 21st. The police found them abandoned in their home and brought them to D.I.F. The children told the authorities that their mother had left to go to the beach with a friend but she never returned. Both their mom and dad are drug addicts.
I had a neat time with each one of them obtaining their sizes and asking the older kids what they wanted for Christmas. After their having lived at the Orphanage for a little more than a week I could not distinguish any difference between the way this new family acted and conducted themselves as compared to the kids that have lived there for several years. They have settled in and are now a part of a much larger Orphanage a family. I am so grateful that the El Sauzal Orphanage is such a loving place; a sanctuary for hurting kids.
As I sat with Maria, the Nanny who is charge of the Nursery, she began to tell me that a D.I.F. officer was recently there in the Nursery and had told her that “Luisito” may be leaving. As she was telling me this story her eyes welled up and tears and began to flow down her cheeks. She said; “it so hard on me when one of my babies leaves.” What love this woman has and pours out on all of the little ones that are placed in her care. She now has two more to shower her love on as Dayana and Emanuel live with her and Cecilia, another Nanny and the other chiquitos in the Nursery. Thank you Lord for your servant Maria. Lord, she is such an awesome example of how you love us. I see you Lord in her eyes, in her smile, and in her tender loving care for the children.
