APREMATURE BABY in Liberia was<br />
born no bigger than a handful. Her<br />
mother died in childbirth and her<br />
father was murdered. So the nurses named<br />
the baby Handfull. For nearly five years,<br />
Handfull, her aunt and four cousins struggled<br />
to survive in a primitive refugee shack.<br />
Finally, with Catholic Charities’ help,<br />
Handfull’s great Aunt Lucy, who lived in New<br />
York City, brought her relatives to live with<br />
her in safety. Catholic Charities provides legal<br />
representation to needy immigrants and<br />
refugees applying for asylum and familyreunification,<br />
permanent residence and<br />
naturalization. But Handfull needed more.<br />
She needed a mother. Lucy wanted to adopt<br />
her but had no funds. Catholic Charities<br />
stepped in again, paying the attorney’s<br />
adoption-processing fee. Money remains<br />
as tight for the family as their living quarters.<br />
But they are happy to be together and alive.<br />
“Money remains as tight for the family<br />
