This is Edith Simon. She's 22 years old and a leper. Yes, you heard me right-- she's a leper. This is 2009 but leprosy still exists and causes much suffering. Oh, she's been treated and doing all right now but this is after her two feet were removed, her nose redone (look closely at the photo) and her fingertips cut off. Edith is young and vivacious but has no one to help her. She wants to continue her secondary education. Can you help?
Fr. Marc,
ReplyDeleteWhat would it cost for her schooling?

Edith is an orphan and living with an aunt here in town who cannot afford to send her to school. Secondary school fees and tuition, books run around $350 per year. Some cost more, few less. She is not registered anywhere so I can't give you a fixed price. Should I have her register somewhere and that way we'll be clear about the cost?
ReplyDeleteI can cover the $350 for her tuition for a year and am more than willing to do so. You are more than welcome to contact me at:
