Heather is currently living in the Love146 Round Home. She approached one of the caregivers and said this:

 “Outside my school, there are many street children. I was also a street child.  I used to be like them. My daily problem was where to find food. When I grew a little older, I ended up in that job (commercial sexual exploitation), which was the only way to feed myself. But now I have a new life [at the Round Home] and I have found Love and I am so happy. I would like to share my newfound happiness with those children. Their clothes are torn and dirty. They also look very hungry.”

Heather asked if she and other girls in the Round Home could bring these children food and clothing. She wanted to talk with them and tell her story so they might have hope. The girls prepared food from their own garden, went through their closets to gather clothing and collected some of their own toys to give. A few days later they sat on those streets with children of the same age and gave what they could.

Dr. Velazco (Love146 director of aftercare) stated it best:

“They (the girls in the Round Home) are wounded, yet they seek to heal. They are in pain but still they want to give comfort. They have nothing, but they long to give. Why? Because they have found Love. Love generates its own energy. The work of Love expands on its own. You can care for trafficked children, and the momentum of Love that is sparked in them prods them to care for other children at risk.”

Restoration perpetuates abolition. A lovely young girl brings her restored heart back to the streets where it once had been broken, but this time it is not with fear--only with Love.
