Jody

At age 6, Jody was accepted into our community care program. Jody’s parents died when she was 4 years old. She has 3 brothers. Her grandmother approached the children’s home for placement of her and her 3 siblings. When we began providing care for Jody, she was very malnourished and in need of an important surgery.

Jody is a very happy and upbeat girl who loves playing with dolls, painting and singing.  She wants to become a doctor to help those in need.  She enjoys being the only girl in her sibling group of four and has a great bond with her female cousins.
