My Name is
Grace
Grace
Grace lived with her grandmother after the death of her mother and father in 2006. Though she tried, Grace's grandmother had almost no means to provide for her. When she arrived at the Village in March 2007, Grace was very malnourished. She soon benefited from the quality care at the Village and has grown into a wonderful young woman. Grace is a strong student, and she does especially well in language arts. She also enjoys running with her friends for exercise. Grace seeks to glorify God in all that she does.
