It
is paramount that Rosemary gets educated and secures a good job because
she will someday have to support her family and her three physically
handicapped sisters. Her gentle mother Lubia, who looks much older than
her age, currently cares full time for her 3 adult daughters who have a
horrible disease and their health is deteriorating. In addition, she
tries to supplement their income by selling food on the street in their
dangerous neighborhood where they average 2 murders a week. This family
is sponsored by a Lutheran Church in Casper and their money helps buy
milk and diapers for the girls and pay for medical treatment. I hope
our Wyoming neighbors know their help is deeply appreciated and greatly
needed. Rosemary has had a scholarship from a family in New York.
It was impossible to hold back the tears when Rosemary and Lubia talked
about their lives and the love and respect between them is obvious. It
was truly an emotional time for all of us! We
ended the day on a bright note as we sat out on the upper deck
overlooking the glorious city lights and watched the lunar eclipse. It
was spectacular and we thank Ed for calling us as we are really
clueless about what is going on in the world or for that matter even
what day it is. We haven’t listened to any news and we would love it if
we come home and find out the war has ended and our courageous troops
are on the way home. For now, we will continue on our journey here
learning more about the numerous amazing entities of Sharing the Dream
and meeting more people who have been greatly impacted by the
generosity of those who have contributed in so many ways.
