Dear Editor: Recently at Bridge to Life, we received a first time visit from Pakistani refugees. They are Catholic and left their country because the Christians there are being persecuted. They lost their first baby boy at 12 hours after he was born because of lack of good health care. Their baby daughter is only one week old. What a tremendous story they have to tell.

The father was a Christian leader in Pakistan and he needed to leave to keep his family safe. But he doesn’t want to forget about the babies and children that he left behind so he wants to meet with me to discuss how we could send some of our clothes back to Pakistan. We are always happy to be able to help when we can.
