*Jean's New Beginning

 *Jean, a 15-year-old Haitian boy, had been living in an unsafe and abusive home, a situation that kept him from attending school and experiencing the stability every child deserves. Despite this, he continued to show up at the children’s ministry in La Joya, where caring adults began to notice that something was wrong.

When Pastor Kilyvs learned about *Jean’s situation, he stepped in before more harm could be done. He brought *Jean went to a rehabilitation center where he could begin to heal and ensured he received school supplies, something he had never had before because his home environment made school impossible.

Now, *Jean is safe. He will be enrolled in school, have transportation to attend classes, and be able to study, go to church, and grow in a supportive, loving environment. What was once a life marked by fear is now opening into a future filled with safety and hope.
