Isadora's Story
We wanted to take a moment and share the redemptive story of the youngest little girl in our home, Isadora. God has been working in amazing ways in her life, and we would like to say thank you for all of your prayers and the ways you have supported children like her! 
When Isadora, also known as “Zazou,” joined our home last year, she was only a few months old. She was extremely shy and only took to a few caretakers after her mother had abandoned her and her older sister, Shakira. We soon noticed that Isadora was suffering from a difficult past, even at her young age. If a man entered the room or she heard a male voices, she often would show unmistakable signs of fear, clinging to female staff members and crying when they would put her down.
But as we cared for her, nurtured her, and prayed over her health physically, mentally and spiritually, we began to see this baby start to flourish, and become a little girl. She now loves to sing worship songs, and recently even took the microphone at our community worship service and fearlessly sang in front of all the kids in the homes and surrounding community. She is learning quickly and can already count to ten.
It has also been so sweet to watch her relationship develop with her older sister, Shakira. They often are found sharing with each other, giggling and showing affection with a hug or a kiss. A little girl who was often seen with a frown and quickly overcome by fear is now a face lit up with joy. Her spirit of fear was overcome by a home that is full of security and love of the Jesus. We count it an honor and a privilege to watch her grow into a confident woman of God. Like her nickname Zazou (Zwazo means bird in Haitian Creole), we can’t wait to see her take flight on wings like an eagle and soar to new heights of freedom.

Out of the 35 children who we currently care for in our boys' and girls' homes, 24 of them are not fully sponsored for their basic needs such as food, water, clothing, medical care, and education.
While we have measures in place to ensure that all of our kids are fully taken care of, we would love to bring this number down to zero and have every single child be fully sponsored! Visit our website to browse through the boys' and girls' stories and prayerfully consider making an eternal investment in the life of a child in Haiti!
