Sarah* and her brother Daniel* were among the first kids to enter Casa Monte Plata when it opened over 12 years ago. Previously, they had been almost living at the Eva Russell School due to an unstable, dysfunctional family situation.
While continuing to attend the school, Sarah blossomed in the environment at Casa Monte Plata where she finally had a peaceful, loving home. She began to thrive spiritually, academically, and physically. Two years ago, she finished high school, moved into our independence home, and began studying accounting at the university level on a Kids Alive scholarship. What a joy it was for us to hire Sarah as a full-time accountant and administrative assistant at Casa Monte Plata! It is wonderful to watch a needy, vulnerable child be transformed into a vibrant Christian who humbly serves others with her skills and abilities. Her joy and passion are a gift to everyone in our community.
