After two years of lockdowns, restrictions, and outbreaks, many are hopeful for a better 2022. There’s the longing for a turn from divisiveness, a turn toward health, unity, and altruism. And while that is certainly a possibility, the news of two abandoned newborn babies being found, one on New Year’s Eve of 2021 and the other on New Year’s Day of 2022, are both painful reminders of our fallen world, as well as opportunities for people to actively involve themselves in unselfishly helping others.
The Discovery of an Abandoned Newborn on New Year’s Eve
In Fairbanks, Alaska, resident, Roxy Lane, was near her house, passing a row of mailboxes when she came upon the abandoned newborn baby boy in a cardboard box with a note. The note read, “Please help me!!” at the top. Then it went on to say, “I was born today on December 31, 2021, 6a.m. I was born 12 weeks premature. My mom was 28 weeks when she had me. My parents and grandparents don’t have food or money to raise me. They NEVER wanted to do this to me. My parents lived on Cormorant St. My mom is so sad to do this. Please take me and find me a LOVING FAMILY. My parents are betting whoever finds me. My name is Teshawn.”
