I wanted to begin to share these amazing children with you and the stories of how they came to live at Hope Children's Home.
Vanessa and her four siblings (Robert, Bettie, Samuel, & Alice) were abandoned by their parents. The children didn’t know that the parents were leaving – they just left. Robert would try to find work so that they could eat, and Bettie did all the cooking and cleaning for their home. Their father came home every few months, and beat Robert because he thought it’d be easier if their children just died. These kids were brave and persistent, and kept pressing on. Show Mercy became aware of their situation, and took them all in.

Vanessa is one of the 95 children who now live at Hope. I truly adore this little one. She usually gets my attention by tugging or tapping on me. I have a special spot in my heart for her.
Wow, your heart must be broken over and over again as you get to know these sweet children and learn what has been done to them. It breaks my heart just to hear their stories without even knowing them.
