Bridget Natocho, age 3, Uganda, Africa 

Personal and Family Information:
Bridget lives with her father and her mother. Her father is sometimes employed as a laborer and her mother is sometimes employed as a laborer. Bridget works at home helping in the kitchen and running errands.

Bridget is not presently attending school. Singing, walking and listening to music are her favorite activities. She also attends church activities regularly.

Please remember Bridget in your prayers. Your love and support will help her to receive the assistance she needs to grow and develop.

I’ve been following the bloggers who are in Uganda (BooMama, Ragamuffin Soul, Shlog, Flower Dust, Whittaker Woman), and it just kept bringing to my heart all the times that I felt God wanted me to do this.  I kept thinking before that others who make more money than I do can handle it, because I live paycheck to paycheck and there isn’t a lot left over.  I’ve been feeling bummed about being single, not even dating, and wondering if I ever will get married and have children.  Feeling sorry for myself and having a royal pity-party.

It really is just 2 CD’s a month that I’d have to discipline myself to not buy.  2 CD’s…a life made whole and healthy and happy.  It is no comparison.  She likes to sing and listen to music just like me.  She is so cute in her pretty pink dress, but she needs hope.  I may not have my own kids, but I can support one who is already alive and pour out the love given to me by my Father.   

How about you?  Give a gift of love and life here.

Lord, help me to be faithful to this.  Happy Valentine’s Day.
