Good on you Annie,for caring.
No one ever knows the circumstances of how people end up in a hostel.
There for the grace of God go I.

How lovely Annie that you were able to communicate with her and how sad not to have a single thing. the poor child must be terrified.

We have a lady that came into our hostel this week with a child.They came in,in the clothes they were wearing and could not speak a word of english.When people move out and leave things behind i always wash anything and store.Today i gave her lots of stuff including toys.I got a big smile and she made me a cup of tea.Communication already started.
