Recently I learned that a refugee is someone who had to leave their home because of war, persecution, or natural disaster. In Haiti, there was a natural disaster-an earthquake-in 2010. A lot of people died and a lot of people had their homes destroyed during that earthquake.

Cassandra is a refugee from Haiti. When she was about 13 years old, the earthquake destroyed her home and she had to go to the Dominican Republic as a refugee. She lived there for 14 years before she came to the USA this year.

One day, my dad brought her some furniture for her apartment. She speaks Spanish. He asked her if she has a Spanish Bible and she said no, but she wants one. She has two daughters, and she said even her daughters want a Bible in English. So, another day I went there and delivered a Spanish Bible for Cassandra and an English Bible for her girls.

Cassandra is really trying to find a job so that she can pay her bills like rent, electricity, and the water bill. So, recently my mom went there to help her with job applications. Cassandra told my mom that she has been reading her Spanish Bible every day since I brought it to her, and her daughters have been reading their English Bible every day too!

Cassandra told my mom she trusts God. I hope she can find out that even though she lost everything in 2010, God still has a great plan for her and her girls!
