Wooly Wednesday: Millie

Pure sweetness. Those are just two of the words that come to mind when I think about Millie. The oldest girl living at Casa Amor, she is a trusting, beautiful girl with big brown eyes and an easy smile. She loves having her photo taken and giving hugs. And while she wasn't always in the center of the action, she was always watching and making observations. She is a sweet friend to her siblings and really clicked with Brennan during our time there. I think she recognized someone close to her own age with a similar sweet spirit in Brennan and they became fast friends.

Millie celebrated her 15th birthday on New Year's Eve, and I am hopeful 2015 will be her best year yet. When she was brought to Casa Amor last August, she couldn't count to ten and was extremely shy and withdrawn. Even though we don't know the detailed circumstances, we do know both of her parents are deceased. She hasn't been given much of a chance during the first fifteen years of her life, and we are praying the attention and education she is receiving at Casa Amor will drastically change her life's direction. It is clear she has thrived in the six months since she has been living in her new home, and we are so thankful!

If you are interested in giving a one-time or monthly donation, please click here. 100% of the funds raised are used to provide care for orphans living at Casa Amor... food, shelter, salaries for caregivers and education. For Millie, receiving an education will be completely life-changing. Attending school wouldn't be a possibility for her if she were not living at Casa Amor. Join us in praying for her as she continues her studies and grows in confidence every day.

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."

James 1:27
