That thought became very apparent to me as I visited the girls home in Cambodia. Each of these girls have a different story with different circumstances, different pasts. Each of them came to this home broken, wounded, and desperate. No matter what path brought them here, the common thread among these girls was their need for hope. As young girls, each of them had dreams for their lives. But many of their dreams were stolen at a very young age. Some dreams were shattered by extreme poverty along with physical abuse, verbal abuse, sexual abuse, or all three. For some, their own family betrayed them. For others it was a means of survival. But no matter their circumstances, each came to the home with a desperate cry to be rescued from their hopelessness.
