Today is “Gabriella’s” birthday! She has been feeling sad this week and could use some extra hope. Send her some love in the comments! ____________________________________________ Gabriella was trafficked by her family members for many years of her life. They would exploit her in various ways, including rape and forcing her to beg for money from strangers. She was under the threats of a local gang, who manipulated her so that she would stay compliant. Luckily she was rescued as a young teenager and her traffickers were put in jail. Gabriella has been living in one of our partnering aftercare homes for a few years in Central America. When she first came to the home, she was very shy. Now, whenever a new girl comes into the home, Gabriella is the first one at the door to make sure she does not feel alone. Gabriella is brilliant and has excelled in school. She was excited when she was accepted to a very prestigious school with a full-ride scholarship. Thanks to O.U.R. donors, we were able to provide Gabriella with her own tablet and helped her buy her required school uniforms. We are inspired by Gabriella’s ability to overcome hardship and for the light she is constantly sharing with others.
