"Marcella looked at them with hate and disgust. After they left, she broke down and cried. Her arms were already becoming numb from the lack of blood flow and her lips hurt. She started to pray for mercy as she sagged against her bindings, the energy being sapped from her body. She refused to give up yet dreaded what the new day would bring. She remembered Abdul's words, the tone that told her he was serious and the fact that there was absolutely nothing she could do to prevent it. Her body bathed in tears, she lifted her head towards the dusty ceiling. 'My Lord, I have been good. Please do not force me to submit to those filthy men! Please, I beg of you!" The tears flowed from her red, swollen eyes as she cried uncontrollably. 'I can't believe it will end like this! Please, Lord, show me some mercy and I will forever be your servant." She hung her head and sobbed. She felt hopeless and exhausted as she allowed reality to fade to black before she embraced sleep like a guardian angel."

Thomas, Judy Liu, Danielle Hughes, Emmie Hamilton, EA Robins, Katie Civitelli, Victoria Jade MossProudly SupportingMiracle Babies FoundationMiracle Babies Foundation is Australia's leading organisation supporting premature and sick newborns, their families and the hospitals that care for them. Every year in Australia around 48,000 newborn babies require the help of a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) or Special Care Nursery (SCN). 27,000 of these babies are born premature and up to 1,000 babies lose their fight for life. For families, the experience of having a baby come into the world not as expected or planned is life-changing. Without support, this overwhelming and traumatic experience can have lifelong effects on the emotional well-being of these miracle families. It affects the entire family unit. That is why we have decided to donate all online proceeds to The Miracle Babies Foundation.Miracle Babies provides support to families of premature and sick newborns through our NurtureProgram, including our NurtureLine (24 Hour Family Support Line 1300 622 243), NurtureTime (in-hospital emotional support) and NurtureGroups (community play and support groups, for after discharge). Your support will also help the continued distribution of our family NurtureProgram Resources, via hospitals.
