She was a migrant woman who was able to give birth to her son David in a Spanish hospital. It was 2002, and after 2 days in the hospital, she left with nowhere to go, along with her baby and husband. It just happened that a certain Conrado Gimenez had just started a foundation to help pregnant women and their babies. At that time, he was alone in the Foundacione Madrina, but later got organized better with others helping him, even leaving his work as a banker and dedicating his time entirely on this mission. This past December 28, 2022 he received a letter that brought tears to his eyes, from that baby he had saved, now aged 20. The letter said : ‘Hello, I am David – it’s been 20 years since you entered into our lives. I was barely 2 days old when I was dismissed from the hospital, with no memories of that day, except from the stories my mother told me of how kind you were to her and me. Her face still lights up every time she thinks of you. She remembers that she was homeless with a new-born baby, and no place to go, until you came into her life, and my life. You were like an angel from heaven, drying our tears. How wonderful it is that when you fall, you find someone catching you in their sturdy, loving arms!’ Conrado wrote back to David and told him that every baby born is a sign that God is not discouraged with us humans.
