THE TRAUMATIC CYCLE OF ORPHANS AND VULNERABLE CHILDREN
A family is in crisis.
They are forced to place their daughter, Maria, into an institution.
A broken child welfare system fails Maria at every turn.
Maria ages out of the institution at 15.
Maria resorts to prostitution, drugs, or suicide.
Maria becomes pregnant.
Maria places her own child into an institution.
We are breaking the cycle
