Text Box:   David  Meléndez Campos      David came to live at the Good Shepherd Children’s Home in June of 2003. He was born Aug. 17, 1997. He lives here with his four sisters and one brother.      David came to the GSCH through the abused women’s shelter where he lived with his Mom and other siblings for over a year. In this shelter they remain locked in a room so they would not see or hear the suffering of the women that arrived each day.       David’s mother at 5 years old began suffering abuse at the hands of her family and married an abusive husband. Domestic violence ravaged David’s home and of course carried over to the children. Each of the children has suffered direct physical and mental abuse from their father.      While in the women’s shelter they met the previous director of IHNFA. She in turn contacted Greg and Eva and pleaded with them to accept these 6 children who were losing their education and spending their lives locked in a back room for protection.      Finally after 3 months of receiving calls once a week, Casitas 4 and 5 opened allowing Greg and Eva to accept David and his 5 siblings.      David and his siblings all showed signs of extreme domestic violence and insecurity. They are now on the road to recovery and with God’s Love and healing they can overcome. The violence has ended……now life can begin.            David needs your help not only in prayer but also in financial support. For just $25 per month, you can help supply the food, shelter, clothing, education, medical and dental care he needs. Can David count on you to help provide the necessities for him to have a happy and meaningful life?
