Priyanka

We would like to introduce you to our lovely Priyanka. This sweet girl came to us in August 2016.

Priyanka comes from an impoverished community where farmers struggle to make a living. There is a very high suicide rate among these farmers, and in desperation after a poor harvest, Priyanka’s father took his own life when she was very young.

Priyanka’s uneducated mother was left to care for Priyanka, her older brother, and her grandmother - her only source of income was working as a laborer in the fields. Unable to feed and educate Priyanka, her mother made an incredible sacrifice, begging her local pastor to take Priyanka to a home where she would be adequately cared for and educated.  Through her mother's persistence, our eyes were opened to God's calling to serve girls who may not be true orphans but simply need a home. 

Because of a mother’s love and a local pastor’s heart toward his community, Priyanka has come to Grace House India, where she has a loving home, three meals a day, and is being educated to become all God has designed her to be. Priyanka loves school and loves to practice her English alphabet, numbers, and colors and hopes someday to become a Police Officer.

This precious girl is a blessing to the staff and other girls at Grace House.
