Happy News from Ghana- Little Melbourne Pics [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: 2023-04-20 Just a very brief story this morning. Melbourne is a year-old baby in Ghana who was seriously ill last week. The mother came to John for help and John took him to the hospital. He was severely malnourished and may have had some other problems as well. His story is here: www.dailykos.com/… Melbourne was only released from the hospital last Monday and is now home with his mother. Last night John sent me some pics. He asked me to share them with you, so here you are. He looks so happy and healthy. Sometimes good things do happen in a very sad and harsh world. I do want to say an apology to those who very kindly ask if they can help, I know I seem blunt and even cruel in saying no, but dKos has very strict rules on asking for help. I am in total agreement with those rules. It would be a shame to see this valuable site filled with fundraisers for individuals and organizations who take advantage of its wide and generous audience. The need in Ghana is always great and it is frustrating to me that I cannot simply post our GoFundMe link when people ask, but as I said, I understand the reason for the rule. Anyone who wishes to discuss this matter personally, feel free to kosmail me. At any rate, Melbourne is looking fine (and very, very cute!) so that is a good thing.
