Last Sunday was Moving Day and as
usual the trucks left early to pick up donations from all over Melbourne.
Trucks and sorters assembled at around 2.00 to head off in convoy to deliver to
about thirty families. My team headed north with eight houses to visit.
There had been a last minute
addition to our list and unfortunately by the time we arrived there was little
left in our van. They were a family of five from Iran, living in a house with
nothing but a baby's cot. The mother sat on the floor nursing her four day old
baby, having left hospital the day before, following a caesarean delivery.
Nasser, her husband greeted us with open arms as we provided a table, chairs,
couch and a small mattress for their seven year old daughter. The little girl's
response was to ask for one more thing - a bed for her mum to sleep on.
