A Special Kind of Love
Women with special needs who are unable to function in society are often defenseless,
especially in impoverished countries like Honduras. Casa Misericordia was organized
as an extension of Hogar de Niños in order to provide a safe place for these young
women. Deep emotional, psychological, and mental illness, as well as deafness and
Down Syndrome, bring abuse and disdain from even close family members.
But at Casa Misericordia they are able to live without fear. Cared for by a patient
Christian staff who willingly give them the extra time and attention they need,
they are loved and nurtured. They enjoy working together, doing crafts, and learning
skills to better care for themselves and one another.
