Get em some socks

MetroLIVE is back and we are LOVING it

This year they’re helping Charasia again.

Remember last year?

Charasia is an organization in India who helps little girls.

Not just any little girls- little girls that are super young (I’m talking 5, 6, 7…) who have been raped by the men who come to the brothels to visit their mothers in the red light district.  Some of these little girls “satisfy” 15 clients a day who have full blown AIDS.  When they aren’t “working”, they are laying in their mother’s room while she’s with a client.

It’s sickening, really.

Charasia works with the mothers of the children and convinces them to let their baby girls come live at Charasia.

Do you have a little girl?  Do you dare think about her when she was/is seven being in the situation these sweet girls are in?

At Charasia, they get shoes and food, baths and love, education and clothing, lifelong friends and Jesus.

Charasia depends on donations to provide for their little girls.

This year, MetroLIVE set up a Target registry for them.  You can go to it right

HERE

and have whatever you want to buy shipped to the organization.

It does not get easier.  Or cheaper.  The toothpaste they need is $.97

You have $.97.

Devin and I are thinking we’d like to go work with Charasia a little bit someday.  I am dying to hug on some of those munchkins.

Happy Friday everyone!
