A esta bebé la abandonaron en la basura y así se ve 2 años después

Sarah Conque es una terapeuta infantil estadounidense que quiso aportar su granito de arena en el mundo y se fue a trabajar como voluntaria en Haití.

En 2014, esta joven de 28 años estaba en el Centro Médico de Niños “Danita” cuando un día llegó una madre con una niña con hidrocefalia, una enfermedad que hace que se acumulen líquidos en el cráneo, por lo que el tamaño de la cabeza aumenta.

A year and a half ago today Nika had an NG tube. Back then, she needed one because she couldn’t tolerate but a pinky sized amount of formula and she was severely malnourished…. all because her biological family wouldn’t feed her. Today, she has an NG tube for very different reasons, we are preparing for gtube surgery because her abilities to eat by mouth have declined and her medical team want to make sure she is getting the nutrition she needs. The two reasons couldn’t be more opposite, much like these photos. At 11mths old on the left in Haiti (08/28/14) it shows the horrific effects of gross negligence, of a precious little girl left alone. Today, at 29mths old on the right (02/28/16) it shows the result of incredible love shown by so many people. I get extremely emotional thinking of how God has completely reversed her life story and all of the details with it. She was once alone, she’s now surrounded by people who value and cherish her. Once forgotten, she’s now treasured beyond compare. Once invisible, she’s now able to tell her story that screams how big our God is. We give HIM all of the glory for the fact that you can barely tell these two photos are of the same child. Lord, we bow down in gratitude that we are never alone, you are right there with us; for every good thing, hard thing, and every painful thing…. We trust Your plan and Your purpose… May we glorify You in all that we do. Amen! #NikaInAmerica #miracle #hydranencephaly #hydrocephalus #orphancare #love #littlewarriornika

El estado de la bebé, llamada Nika, era deplorable. La niña estaba muy desnutrida y necesitaba atención médica urgente.

Cuando se fueron se quedó preocupada y decidió seguirlos. Fue así como encontró a la niña sola entre la basura.

We have such joy today because our redeemer lives! The point of the cross was not to die, but to die and rise again, defeating sin and death themselves (1 Corinthians 15:26). He is risen! More from Nika’s Easter photo shoot later… without the Easter bunny, because I’ve never met one that wasn’t creepy 😂💗🐣 #littlewarriornika #newlife #easter2016

Sarah convenció a la madre de llevarla a un médico y abrió la página web Little Warrior Nika donde narró su evolución.

Contra todo pronóstico, la niña sobrevivió y Sarah, junto con su pareja Stephen, es quien hoy cuida de ella en Louisiana, Estados Unidos.

La niña ha pasado por varias cirugías que lograron mejorar su calidad de vida y el tamaño de su cabeza ha disminuido.

While in Santa Barbara we experienced one of the most fun “firsts”… HIKING.. Nika, @stephen__byrne, and I hiked to the Carpinteria Seal Sanctuary. This amazing experience was made possible by @liftmeupbaby. They are a non profit organization that provides ergonomic babywearing carriers to families with children with special needs. This was our first time trying out our @becobaby carrier and we LOVED how it allowed us to adventure in a whole new way! #NikaInAmerica #babyweartothrive #liftmeup #hydranencephaly #hydrocephalus #santabarbara #littlewarriornika
