Four years ago, I lost interest in anyone or anything. Sealed in my own world, I lost all interest in social interactions and became what people call “selectively mute.” I came to House of Hope with no sense of confidence or hope whatsoever…

Luckily, the amazing staff at the House of Hope never gave up on me and invested their heart and soul in me. With time, I began to open up and believe that there really are friends who believe in me. I reached more and more milestones and began regularly socializing with the other girls at home. Without me even noticing it, my new social life helped me with so many things in life, even my grades in school.

Today, I am much stronger and connected to myself and my feelings. I dream of pursuing a career in the hi-tech industry and know that without the help I received, I wouldn’t even dare to dream.
