Helping Lisa

Let me open your eyes to another situation where God is working through Big Family and their partners Friends of Children.

Meet Lisa. She was living with her alcoholic sister in an apartment. Lisa was 17 at the time and pregnant with her second child. Her first child was removed from her and immediately placed in an orphanage.

Lisa came to FC wanting to live in the family home and dreamed of having her first child returned to her. The state said she had to live with her sister since she was a minor and the first child would not be returned unless her apartment is repaired. Friends of Children and Big Family are working towards that goal. In the mean time, Lisa is now 18 and is free to live at the family home. This is not an orphanage, nor does it receive any funds from the state. It is a temporary shelter for those needing it funded by donations from organizations like Big Family.

Lisa recently had a beautiful baby girl. They have a safe place to live, provisions for the baby, and are well cared for (thanks to Big Family and F.C. donations!) We are hoping to help her return to her apartment, or find a new one, regain her first child, and be able to take care of herself and her young family. It is a large task, but God is bigger!
