Sisters of Nazareth

Sarie was damaged before she was even born

Whether it was lack of knowledge or out of despair, Sarie’s mother drank during her pregnancy – and Sarie was born with Foetal Alcohol Syndrome.

Her mother must have felt completely unable to cope, because she eventually abandoned her child and escaped the poverty of the isolated farm where they lived.

Sarie’s father did the best he could, but he wasn’t able to care for a child with special needs. And then he died. Sarie moved into her grandmother’s care – but within two months the old lady also died.

And then, completely alone, neglected and malnourished, Sarie was brought to Nazareth House at the age of 12.

From her background of extreme poverty, it’s unlikely that Sarie has ever experienced a real Christmas. So this one is going to be very special for her – and for us, in sharing it with her.

Please will you share it too ... by making your contribution now?

Because when someone like Sarie – and all the children in our care – need an ‘angel’ in their lives, its kind hearts like yours that make the difference for them.

Please can I count on you to make that difference again – for Christmas, and into the start of the coming year.

God bless you for caring.
