Outcast and Alone: You Helped Steven When No One Else Would

When you support Kinship United, you’re supporting orphans who would otherwise have no one to turn to for help. Orphans who had to grow up too quickly and focus on survival. Orphans like Steven.

Lydia’s Story: Abandoned Siblings Survive and Thrive Together

Imagine five children, the oldest 12 years old and the youngest only 2, abandoned at the house of a stepfather they barely knew. Kids who grew up in Kenya discarded in unfamiliar Uganda with an abusive stranger. Lydia, the oldest girl, remembers living in that house of violence and neglect. Their father had died, and their mother shortly remarried an abusive Ugandan man. Their mother struggled to protect herself and her children. You gave Lydia (top, middle) and her siblings a place to grow up safely, securely, and most importantly, together. “I love my Kinship parents ‘cause they have tried Newsletter
