The locals girl orphanage was a mess. I planned some day to buy it and help the girls have a better chance of life. But all I could do right now was give funds to the place so many children call home. Once a month, I would go to the orphanage and hand the money to the head face to face. It was a good amount. Enough to pay for good meals for all girls and give then safe rooms to sleep in at night. I was on my way back from the orphanage with Polly after handing this months money to sister Margaret. As we drove back, I was paying attention to the road whilst talk with polly.
"It's not right Tommy. Those poor girls. I know you give em money but it doesn't look like those girls have a good life"
"Course they don't have a good life. But we can't take them all home. The best we can do is give money for then to have enough food and presents at Christmas" I reassured her.
"Tom look out" polly screamed as i suddenly hit the breaks. A young girl had ran out into the road no older than 2 years. We got out of the car to check on her and see if she had an adult with her. The girl was adorable. She had curly blonde hair and and rosy red cheeks. Her blue eyes showed innocence. But the tears pouring down her face showed the pain and loneliness she felt.

It was a cold day in Birmingham. Christmas being 2 weeks away. The little girl must be freezing out here. I kept my cold demeaner whilst polly rushed to pick up and sooth the crying child. She bounced the girl on her hip and shushed her softly, slowly stopping the tears.
"She's freezing tom" pol said with a look of pure worry washed over her face. I nodded as we got back in the car and drove for another 5 minutes to John's house. It wasn't our original plan to go back to my brothers but he would have enough baby clothes and blankets to last the girl a lifetime. Lord knows he has enough kids. We didn't bother knocking as we were in a matter of urgency and John wouldn't dare say anything about it. He was on the sofa, kissing esme before I cleared my throat. The 2 separated but John still held his wife on his lap. No wonder they have so many kids.
"Aw. Who's this cutie?" Esme asked as she got up and went over to the baby girl in pollys arms.
"Dunno. She was standing in the road. No one around her. Almost ran her over. She's freezing poor thing. We figured you would have some baby food and blankets" I said looking at John. He nodded before getting up. He came back down with the blankets so we wrapped the girl up in them and she now sat happily on John knee.
"What's your name darling?" John asked. Just as she opened her mouth to answer, we heard a shocked voice coming from the doorway
"Tina?" We looked to see John's 6 year old son jake.
"Jakey" the girl who I now know as Tina screamed as she waved her arms for him to lift her. Jake walked over and took her from his farhers arms, placing her on his hip.
