Tapiwa Ngazimbi started working as a caregiver for Isaiah’s in January 2008. There were a number of children who came into the care of Isaiah’s however as Tapiwa had been the last staff member to join she had not yet been allocated an individual baby to bond with. In December 2008, Isaiah’s received 3 newborn baby girls, each of whom had been abandoned in separate incidents. One of these babies soon became Tapiwa’s special child.
Nobuhle was a seemingly healthy baby girl, however at 3 months old she developed a tumour caused by Tuberculosis. Tapiwa nursed Nobuhle most days and nights during her 1 and a half month stay in Mpilo Hospital Intensive Care Unit. Nobuhle has grown from strength to strength, having overcome a second bout of Tuberculosis she is now growing well. She is almost 3 years old and has a very strong character, one would never think that this same toddler had undergone major cardio-thoracic surgery and endured so much at just a few months old.
We are delighted to share the news that this same baby you prayed a miracle for in 2009 has been identified for fostering and adoption by her care-giver Tapiwa and her husband Ndabezinhle. It was during her stay at Mpilo Hospital that Ndaba also fell in love with this precious baby as he visited with her almost daily. Ndaba works at Mpilo Hospital as a Switchboard Operator.
Tapiwa shares that their compassion for Nobuhle grew into a passion for loving this child. They bonded with her as she grew and as a family they decided it was only fair that Nobuhle should be given a regular life with a mother and father to love and cherish her everyday – just as God does for us. We pray that this process of adoption will happen smoothly and that soon we will be able to give her our family name and in this she will no longer have a birth certificate without any details.
If you ask Nobuhle who is Ndaba – she very proudly says “that’s my daddy”! We know that Ndaba has an equal pride for this precious little miracle girl.
