Welcome Kyle and Patricia
In February we had an awesome team come to Light of Hope! During their visit they were able to rescue two girls. Kyle is 6 years old, and she is the little sister of Tina and Falon who were rescued exactly 3 years earlier. They are so thankful to be reunited and Grandma is thankful for the safety and education that LOH is providing her three granddaughters. Patricia is just 4 years old. Her father was trying his best to support Patricia and her brother after the passing of their mom but unfortunately, he was not able to give her the care she needs. She is a sweet girl who is happy to have a belly full of nutritious food and new friends to play with.
