My Story

Edgar is a joy to those who get to take care of him at OA. He has the best smile. Edgar is such a joy to have around, he loves to play with toys and loves pictures he also has the most expressive smile. He has another brother that also attends the daycare, Alexander. Their family has been through a lot. They used to live in Sinaloa, a state in the south of Mexico, but his mom decided to escape from the abusive relationship that she was in. The kids father was a drug addict who abused her and even tried to kill her once. When they came to Camalu she started working, and the kids were often dropped off at the neighbors. He went from house to house while his mom worked. But something terrible happened in the last house that Edgar and his brother were being taken care of at. The eight-year-old son of the lady that was taking care of them raped Edgar’s brother. As soon as this happened Edgar‘s brother told his mom and she immediately took him away from the house and ran to us for help. We immediately accepted them into our care. This family needs restoration and hope. Please pray for them, that through Open Arms they can get into a relationship with the Lord and heal their past.
