Marcilia

We would like to introduce you to Marcilia. Many of you know one of our boys, Edouard. This is his sister. She has been living with her grandmother and some other family members. She says she is 11 years old but we believe her to be at least 13. We are still waiting on her birth certificate.

Marcilia has had a very difficult life. Edouard went to visit her last week, and when he got there, he found her thrown outside of the house. When he asked her what happened, she told him that her family was not giving her any food. So two days prior, she took a piece of bread off the table. Her grandmother caught her, put the bread back, and threw her outside. Edouard was not about to leave his sister there. So he carried Marcilia to our house. She was so weak that she couldn't walk. She is incredibly malnourished, and we found bite marks, scars, and bruises on her body. We also believe that she has been through sexual abuse, but cannot prove anything. She is still scared and nervous. It took a few days to get a smile out of her. She came with nothing so Tiffany, along with Emily and Martha Pell, is sending in clothes and shoes for her. Please pray for this young lady as we share the love of God with her, show her the love a family, and that she will learn to accept all of this in her heart!
