Delia

Delia is more than a little camera shy and we certainly could never snap a photo of her sitting relaxing because she NEVER stops cleaning.  Delia lived next door to us with an Arabian family and was never allowed to leave the house.  She worked 7 days a week, was rarely spoken to by the family and often they never paid her.  We noticed her frequently outside washing cars at 11pm and I once saw her cleaning the kitchen window at 5am.    It is a long and complicated story but we now have Delia living with and working for us.  She says she is happier than she has ever been with us.  She has a sad and isolated past so it is good to give her time where she feel valued and can get ahead a bit financially.

She loves Abby, and the feeling is mutual, except at first Delia was bathing her daily, Abby thanked her by peeing on her bed daily.
