“I was going to be a grunt, doing dirty backbreaking work every day... But now I aim to be a doctor, psychologist, or teacher who understands kids and helps them."
– Molly
Molly had no memory of her parents, who had died when she was small. For most of her 11 years, it had just been her and Grandma. Now, suddenly, Grandma no longer wanted her. She could hear her in the next room making plans with the village schoolmaster. He needed someone young and strong to haul coal, and Grandma needed one less burden. Tears filled Molly’s eyes as she followed her new master from the only home she’d ever known.
Though Molly was a village girl and used to hard work, the back-breaking labor of hauling coal weighed on her already broken heart. But what choice did she have? By God’s grace, her friend knew the founder of Project 365. One phone call later, Molly found a bus that would take her away from her hopeless existence to a place where she belonged and was free to dream of a bright future.
Finding safety in the love of her Heavenly Father, Molly’s broken heart healed. Her lonely days filled with friends, learning, and joy. Now an adult, her goal is to help children like the girl she once was find the healing that is now hers.
