Dear Mary,

I miss you and i wished you were here with Chris and Rene. that was so much fun! they were at the orphnage every day. Played with the kids, sometimes made us breakfast/ lunch and helped with laundry, cooking and other house chores. I wished you could do that with me as we gossip a little and share about life! I am happy with what i am doing and i just want to talk about it. I have 6 babies now. As i told you before, Mary and Steve left. The court got them relatives to live with. i have a beutiful 7 year old christine and her brother kevin who is 10 months old. they were left at a police stations gate by their mother and in a small paper bag they had, a suicidal note was found. The police have tried to trace her ever since dead or alive without any luck. I got a court order to take care of them. They are the sweetest babies. Its so nice to hear them call me mama. Its the greatest feeling. I am glad they came my way coz all they needed was love. From what i gather from Christine the mother mistreated her so much. You cant imagine that at her age, she can even change diapers, clean a baby and even feed them. She is too responsible for her age. Well, i am trying to slow her down now. I want her to play and be the kid she is. tommorow i take her for an interview at a nearby school. She is supposed to join class/grade one. She is bright and i hope she fares well at the interview.

Nicky was also attached to us by the court. He is 5 years old. With a 3 months old baby, they were rescued by a neighbor when the mom tried to strangle them. She was arrested and is still under police custody. The baby was taken to a different home. He will also be joining nursery school. I cant wait to take them to school in the morning and sit to do homework in the evening. Its a huge responsibily but i am ready for it.

The other new baby we got is baby Steve. We let him stay at the hospital because he weighed 1 kg and we didnt have an incubator in the house. They kept him until tuesday when he weighed 1.8kg. He is so tiny and cute. The mother tried arborting him several times then starved herself hoping to kill him but un/fortunately the baby survived. She fled from the hospital immediately after giving birth. We have him now, the little bundle of joy. He keeps me smiling. I have told you about Chris and Alice. They have grown so big and healthy. Well, we have lots of pics now and i will try to upload them for you. Rene created a facebook page for us. Please search Nellie’s orphanage on facebook.

I got the money, thank you so much. We did a lot of things with it i will send you a breakdown and receipts. The only thing i couldnt do was cement because that was taking up the whole amount and more so we opted for the garden , kitchen supplies and salaries. I will attach receipts. I want to be as open with you as i possibly can and i promise to account for every coin that is sent my way. I need help….my babies do and i will do anything to make sure that i do not compromise transparency and accountability. That 500 was of great help around here and i can never thank you enough. Sorry we couldnt get some bowls because i used up all the money and when Chris tried to he couldnt get nice ones. My guess was that it was festive season and most suppliers were home for xmas.

I have a lot to share with you. My new years resolution is to communicate more often. I will also try to update the facebook page as often as possible.

I hope you are well and in great health. Lots of love to Don.

Love you always.

Nelly
