Little baby Abel's mother held her little new born baby boy with tears in her eyes. She was sick and knew she had not long to live. She worried about his future, she would have loved to see him grow, starting to walk, his first words....but it was not to be. After 30 days she peacefully passed away. Fortunately the family stepped in and his aunt to over the care of little Abel. As the family grieved for the death of Abel's beloved mother, they started to realize that loving on this little baby was not difficult but feeding the baby was a different story. They soon found out that baby formula was not something they could afford. The aunt started to look around for help from government and non-government organizations and was finally referred to Abraham's Oasis. We assessed the needs and started to assist the family right away to prevent the baby reaching the state of severe malnutrition. Due to the quick assistance the aunt is now able to love and care for Abel. The team of Abraham's Oasis checks on the family regularly, advises them and provides them with monthly baby formula supply. Baby Abel and his family are doing well and we will follow-them till he reaches one year of age.
We thank you for much for your generous support which enables us to provide life-saving interventions for babies in need.
