Heavy Heart


It is with a heavy heart that I report that Karen only has 9 days left until she will be kicked out on the street to live a life of prostitution and try to survive on her own. This girl captured my heart two years ago. Why couldn't anyone see her potential? What an awful way to celebrate your 16th birthday!

  4. She is an orphan in Eastern Europe. They "age out" at 16. She turns 16 on the 12th. At that time she will be kicked out on the street empty handed to try to make it on her own. Her only disability is being "older". I don't understand why no one adopted her. I don't think there is anything we can do for her at this point, but she has a younger sister that is up for adoption as well.

  6. Praying for Karen and for a family to come forth. We've been sharing about other children in Eastern Europe and have seen many families come forward. He is able!
