About

Christella had been living on the streets of Port-au-Prince for many years. Regular abuse, daily begging, and scrounging around for food were her way of life. As she grew older, Christella began to fear the older boys on the street and tried to maintain a very low profile. She even cut her hair short and wore boys clothing in order to try to hide her gender. Christella was eventually able to shelter herself in a street boys ministry to hide and protect herself. The director of the ministry referred her to us and we gladly took her in. Christella came to us as a very solemn young girl and has now developed into a person who is constantly grinning and laughing. She enjoys playing soccer and serving at our community feeding program. Christella loves God and is thankful for the new life she has at the girls home where she is safe and loved. Please pray for Christella, that she will continue to grow in her faith in Jesus.

Hi Christella,

My name is Kennedy. I came across your amazing profile and was inspired by you. I am so grateful to have this opportunity to communicate with you. You are an amazing girl and you have an amazing future in store for you. My school connected me to the School Fund and I really hope I can do my best to help you! For the past few months, I have been raising money by selling little hair accessories to my dance friends! I hope I can help you reach your goals and live your dreams.

Thank you so much for being such an inspiration!
Keep being yourself and never change!
You are a beautiful person!

Love,
Kennedy
