Our Stories
When Selinah was admitted into our facility, all that concerned Selinah was her lack of hair, not her discomfort of her illness just her hair, something as seemingly simple as providing a wig made a big difference in Selinah’s happiness during her stay.
I wrote this poem...
I thought I was alone, but I was wrong.
God gave me people in my life,
like my Granny and the people of Lambano.
When I was sick I thought I would die before my time.
My mother gave me birth and left me like this.
I thank God for my Granny and Lambano…
Behind my smile is a hurting heart.
Behind my thought I am falling apart…
look closely at me and you will see
the person I am isn’t me…
