Back in 2017, Many Hands introduced Roseman, a widowed mother, and her anemic 1-year-old daughter, Baby Love. Roseman faced many challenges. Though she had the support of friends and family members, there were few resources to go around. Baby Love was underweight and malnourished. She was unable to fight off frequent fevers with her weakened immune system, let alone the pneumonia that attacked her little body. On top of it all, poor diet worsened the anemia and stomach hernias. Life was not easy or kind to little Baby Love and her mother Roseman.
“Baby Love was underweight and malnourished.”
Like many others in our community, this little family took a chance on a better life by enrolling in Premye Mil Jou, which translates to “First 1,000 Days” and is a part of the Love in Action program. In September 2017, Baby Love started preschool at the School of Light after she aged out of the First 1,000 Days program. Roseman was attending spiritual development classes and classes taught by local nurses covering topics like proper nutrition, hygiene, and how to identify and treat common illnesses.
