Lola

I have few words .... its taken me a couple of weeks to write this post because I just don't know what to say ....

...... Lola (the word for 'grandma') has spent almost a year in a chicken coop being neglected and abused by her family. Rats ate away her toe nails.... as she lay helpless, in the dark, on plywood.....

She was fed once a day. Changed and washed.... I'm not sure.

She never came out of there .... in a year.... until we found her.

She is with us, safe but ... so broken. Her life was taken away from her a year ago .... and I'm not sure we can ever make up for that. But as we continue to care for her, to love her, to restore her dignity ..... maybe, in time, she will heal.

As we bring her out, she is so scared and confused.
