Back in April the I brought Maria into the hospital with spinal TB, osteomyelitis, pressure sores and malnutrition. (Her story here.) She has completed her final surgery, is well healed and is ready to go home. I've ordered her a pint sized wheelchair which should arrive on Monday. Now, the challenge is where is she going to go....
I'm thinking seriously about bringing her to Soroti to attend the handicapped school. But I'm afraid that her family would perceive that as me taking responsibility for her and that they no longer have any need to take care of her at all. Which they clearly do already, as they were willing to let her die. So, do I just consider her needs? I think she would thrive in a place where they will help her live with her disabilities and show her she has value as she grows up.
But she is young...
The first term that she would be eligible for is in January.....
