I had the privilege of touring the Casa de Alberque de Martina, a home for girls in Puerto Plata, the Dominican Republic. The home is a special place for girls who were removed from unsafe conditions and sent to the care and love of the Casa’s staff.

The Casa is supported by The Friends of the Casa de Alberque de Martina, which can be contacted via its Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/FriendsoftheCasaAlberguedeMartina/. Please check out this group. At this point, I do not know enough about the Facebook group to give my endorsement; however, I hope you learn more about them.

The graduates of this program have obtained professional degrees as nurses and other caregivers.

You only have to look at these beautiful faces to understand how much love they give and need. It’s easy to see how they melted my heart. The girls took my hand, and I missed them already.

Thank you, Moma Maria, for bringing us here and allowing us to meet these gifts from God.
