Tomale and her sister cared

for their mother who had tuberculosis.

One morning while trying to feed her,

they realized their mother had died.

and leave us here alone.

She loved us.

When she died, I worried

about where we would get food and clothes.

at Beautiful Dream Society,

which is supported by Orphan's Promise.

- [Interpreter] My heart broke for them.

Their mother was gone,

so I became their mom.

I asked God to give them strength

and help after what happened.

I spent a lot of timein my bedroom crying.

Mama Yvonne comforted me

and loved me like I was her own.

this home for years.

We knew that in time, thegirls would settle in.

Now they're very happy in their new home.

that in just two years,

she moved up from third to seventh grade.

When I read my Bible, Ifeel God's love for me.

and clothed me with joy.

I have a mother who lives me

and God gave us many brothers and sisters.
