No one answered. So, they headed toward the gate of the home. They opened the gate and looked down... ...and found a tiny baby girl wrapped in a blanket, crying. Her clothes and blanket smelled of paraffin. She carried the strong smell that clung to her clothes… a sign of what she had been through. She was maybe a month old. Alone. Frightened. Barely hanging on. The team rushed her inside, bathed her, held her close, and loved her. They named her Hope. “I thank God we were there on time to save Hope,” one of our TTF Promise Home unties shared. At the hospital, baby Hope was diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, a lifelong condition. But even then, Hope showed resilience. She stayed in a TTF Promise Home, receiving 24/7 loving care, nutrition, medical attention, and the warmth of aunties who treated her like their own. And then... Hope was adopted. Today, she is with a forever family who cherishes her. Hope’s beginning was heartbreaking. But because someone showed up for her… her story is now filled with joy. This Is Why We Can’t Slow Down Tragically, most abandoned babies in South Africa are not found in time. But because of generous giving family members like you, the TTF Impact Baby Rescue team is fighting for life: Nearly 2,000 pregnant mothers reached every week with life-affirming support 15 babies currently cared for in 5 TTF Promise Homes 41 babies adopted into forever families The number of babies being dumped is steadily going down Babies are being rescued and cared for. Mothers in crisis are finding support so abandonment never happens in the first place. But for every baby rescued like Hope… another is still waiting at a gate, in a dumpster, or beside a river. Your gift today can help rescue the next baby abandoned at the gate. Your gift will provide emergency response, medical care, nutrition, safe shelter, adoption pathways, and life-affirming support for mothers in crisis. Before 2025 comes to a close, you can give Hope — literally. Will you give today to help rescue abandoned babies and support mothers in crisis. ## Stats - **Views:** 15,267 - **Likes:** 2,052 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 41 ## Credits These are the roles credited on Gondola.
