A Place At MY Table/ A Little Help From MY Friends

What does it mean to have a family? When a child grows up in an orphanage, he is constantly reminded of his deficit. How do you pass the time? What can you do to keep yourself from being plastered with iconic family images? Can you watch TV? Billboard or magazine ads are filled with family images,even the mall has families walking and shopping together.

How do you combat this and attempt to be normal? You pray and hope that one day, someone will love you and come and pluck you from that orphanage as the one that was always missing from their hearts. You get up in the morning as each day that hope is diminished a bit by statistics. And, these statistics are brutal.

We have been approved to host for the winter! Four weeks of providing warmth and comfort and assisting with learning life skills and what it is like to live with a family, rather than an institution. No one wants to spend Christmas in an institution.
