While watching Santa Claus distributing packages of rice, a lady came asking to talk to me.
"My 2-year-old boy have gotten heart trouble since his birth," she said, "and I need 1,850$US for his surgery... How can I have that much money? I don't even have money to bring him to hospital when necessary... Please help me!"
And she cried...
What to say? - How to comfort her? I regret I am not of that strong faith as Saint Peter: "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk."(Act. 3:6)
The same case of Huu Thien came to my mind - Why not ask those benefactors to help her? I so said to her: "I promise nothing, but I'm trying to do whatever I can. Don't worry! I hope that in a few weeks/months those benefactors will do something for you and your child..."
Brother Gregory knows this case and will get in touch with her as soon as he receives help from Benefactors. Your generosity saving this child life is gratefully appreciated.
Thanks for your continued "service of the poor"
