*not her real name

Elena’s smile is a picture

Elena* shows her delight at finding baby clothes when boxes from Blythswood’s 2022 Shoe Box Appeal were delivered to a state-run home in northwest Romania which helps vulnerable single mothers to support their new-born infants. “These women were so happy to find clothes and lotions for their babies,” reports Mihai Micula. “Almost all had only one outfit for their little one and for them to receive these presents was really a huge blessing. Thank you for helping us to bring a smile to their faces.”
