When she arrived, she could barely read

By July 31, 2015No Comments

Many of the precious children who arrive at Florida Baptist Children’s Homes are behind academically. We work diligently with each child to prepare them for the school year with the required school supplies and we need your help!

Allie* came to one of our campuses over a year ago at 11 years old. When she arrived, she could barely read or write and severe arthritis in her joints. Due to the numerous surgeries she had to endure in her young life, she missed most of her elementary school education.

Allie began to show progress after consistently receiving the care she so desperately needed from her FBCH house parents and at her new school. She is even a member of the National Junior Honor Society! We are delighted at how far she has come.

We cannot care for children like Allie without your gift. Would you prayerfully consider providing necessary supplies for a child this school year? The children living on our campuses and in foster homes will be so grateful for the gift of a fresh start!
