The Children’s Home and Teen Shelter

 

…Hannah and her little sister’s mom left their dad due to abuse, unfortunately she left the girls with him and disappeared.  Hannah never felt she and her little sister were safe with their dad, but no one listened.  After talking to a school counselor, the girls came to live at the children’s home.  They finally felt secure.  It took several months, and a foster home was located so both girls could stay together.  The search for their mom continued and after several years she was located and was willing to work on doing what was necessary to return the girls to her care.  This involved mom having a stable job, a suitable place to live and raise two girls as well as many personal hurdles.  She did the work and the girls have been returned to their mom.
