Hi Metropolis. It was great to know Marina and how difficult is being 18 and having to leave without family structure. Thanks for empathizing with her.

Protection over her life… All Praises!

Essa menina é muito forte. Ela vai conquistar uma vida segura e confortável! Força, e lembre de se cuidar e de se rodear de gente que te ama e que quer o seu melhor ❤ você merece!

This breaks my heart 💔. 18 and on the streets after such a structured life in the orphanage. I would open my door to one of these girls that age out! I’m in New York. I wonder if that’s possible?
