Happiness for Loveness
Loveness is six years old and has cerebral palsy, a condition which has severely limited her mobility but now it has all changed. Thanks to generous donations we have been able to commission a custom built wheelchair providing her with support and giving her mother respite from always carrying her daughter wherever they went.
Some more news about Loveness is that with the wheelchair she can now look forward to starting school.
Many thanks to all this who have contributed, or as they say in Malawi “zikomo kwambiri”
