It was
Monday and I was in a hurry because I didn´t want to arrive late to work. I
took the subway and arrived to Brooklyn´s office were a cute girl that I had
met the week before was waiting. She was Indian and was pregnant of 26 weeks,
but She hadn´t known that she was pregnant until the 24th week,
amazing. I said hello and passed inside the rooms.
Firstly I
didn´t noticed about the situation. I was in my happy world and with strength
enough for the whole week. But after two minutes in the office, I heard Linda
quite worried with this pretty girl. Then I noticed. She was there with all her
baggage asking for a house to stay. I couldn´t believe it. Oh my God! Is this
possible? Why these strange things happen when I am here alone?
The office
was a mess. This girl had abandoned her house and we were her only help. We did
some phone calls in order to find a place for her but impossible. What to do?
We couldn´t leave her alone! That was like throwing away all the efforts we
were doing in New York. Finally we tried
our last option: Giving her a place in the life house, were all the interns
were living. Chris let us doing so and thanks to God, this girl had a bed to rest,
some food to eat and friends to enjoy during 48 hours. And the most important
thing: She could take care of her baby, yet in her womb.
Although
this situation was quite weird, it has been the most shocking for me during
these days in America. This girl has teached us what love is, what is a real
woman, what is the courage and what is the plain confidence in others. I am
really thrilled when I think about it!
