We should assume MaKiah had a pretty hard life, wonder how many years she had been in foster care and how many homes?
I was a volunteer in a Columbus Realtors group for a reading program where we went into the public schools once a month and read to elementary kids. While I was reading one day to first graders, this darling little black boy raised his hand and asked if he could tell me something. I said sure, he then said “my daddy shot and killed my mom and I live with a foster mom now”. . I just melted, went to him and gave him a big hug, just heartbreaking. Afterwards, I talked to the teacher. He was six and had been in three foster homes in one year. So, God only knows what these kids have seen in their lives.
What a heart wrenching story.
