update on margaderina

It’s been a little while since I have given an update on my friend Margaderina. Needless to say she is doing very well, she received a 5,000 MK loan (about $35) from OIBM and she is using that money to help with her vegetable business which she runs every day. She is also about 7 months pregnant (her late husband is the father) and at the beginning of May she will go to the hospital for several weeks to stay until she gives birth. She is being very positive throughout all of this although I can’t imagine how tough it would be to do this without a husband to help you with everything. Fortunately she’s not going through this journey alone as she has her mom and several other family members looking after her. Also, there will be some expenses for the birth such as blankets, clothes, food for her and her daughter during their hospital stay, soap, etc. Thankfully someone has recently donated some money and so all of those things will be provided for her (and to that person who donated, I think you know who you are, thank you VERY much.  I know she is at peace knowing that she has everything she needs to have this baby). So expect some more updates on her and her family in the next few months!
