Abandoned Little Girl in Ghana Status Report [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.', 'Backgroundurl Avatar_Large', 'Nickname', 'Joined', 'Created_At', 'Story Count', 'N_Stories', 'Comment Count', 'N_Comments', 'Popular Tags'] Date: 2023-01-23 Anabel is a three year old girl who was found abandoned in front of a hospital in Ghana some months ago. Her ill mother took her along when she went to the hospital begging for treatment. The mother was admitted and the child was simply left on the street to her own devices. Three homeless children found her and took her with them when they went to beg my friend John for food. John managed to get the child into a place that cares for young children when their parents are ill. We have been paying for her to stay there for several months now so that she will not be alone and homeless with no one to care for her. The problems with the mother are many and we haven’t been able to resolve them yet. The hospital threw her out after a few days because they simply do not treat anyone there who does not or cannot pay in advance. The mother is confused and occasionally irrational and simply cannot care for a baby like Anabel. The mother is having her own struggles but to date we simply do not have the money to pay for her treatment. And there are other issues, but I don’t want to speak too freely of them for privacy reasons. Anyway Anabel is surviving. She had been crying every day because she misses her mother and she has had some issues with a breakout of pimples on her face but basically she is okay. We have very little money to work with and John is very ill but we will make sure she is taken care of as long as we can. For those who have seen my earlier stories on Anabel and John, I thought you might want to see this photo John just sent me of Anabel. She looks well and happy (at least in this photo) and, frankly, adorable. All good children deserve favor.
