I would like to introduce you to T. I. Ute. She lives in the house with me, so I get to see that beautiful smile everyday. Every morning she runs up to me at school and gives me a big hug. She never forgets to tell me she loves me before she goes into class. She is a very sweet girl, but she can not sit still through class to save her life..lol She is always trying to move to a different seat, or go to the bathroom, or lay down and sleep on the benches. I have to remind her to pay attention every 10 minutes. Hahaha... Children are so rotten sometimes.
When her mother became pregnant for her she wasn't married. After telling her family what she had done they were so angry with her that they beat her almost to death. The mother has brain damage from the beating, but luckily T. I. Ute wasn't harmed. Now her mother is dying and T. I. Ute had no one to take care of her. So, now she lives with us. She gets fed everyday and she attends our school.
Please remember her and all the other Haitian children in your prayers tonight. We are working hard to give them a brighter future.
