Mary and Jecinta Have Been Through So Much

I’d like to share the story of Mary and Jecinta, two courageous cousins who have faced unimaginable heartbreak. After witnessing the murder of their family during tribal violence, these young girls found refuge in our community in Kenya.

When I first met them, the pain and fear in their eyes was clear—they were traumatized and grieving. But today, thanks to the safe home, loving care, and counseling support made possible by your generosity, these resilient girls are healing and thriving. They’ve found hope again and have become a powerful reminder of why our mission matters so much.

Mary and Jecinta’s story is one of many, and it’s why I continue to ask for your help. Your support provides the resources we need to protect, nurture, and uplift children who have nowhere else to turn.

As we approach the end of the year, I ask you to keep our children in your hearts. Your gift, no matter the size, can make a lasting impact on young lives. Together, we can offer safety, healing, and a brighter future for children like Mary and Jecinta.

Thank you for standing with us.
