Izidor Ruckel
I am appalled at the number of children who remain in abusive and inhumane institutions around the world, forgotten and voiceless. I spent the first 11 years of my life in such a place, and can tell you it is a cruel solution for “unwanted” children. Through my own survival, as well as that of my former-orphan friends, I have seen how the stability and love of a family can change a child from hopeless and wild into a healed and a compassionate human being.
Many years ago, through God’s intervention, some courageous people spoke up on my behalf, gave me an opportunity outside the walls of my orphanage, and changed my life forever. Now, I am called to be a voice for those left behind.
Will you join me? Together we can find the answers to bring hope and dignity to the children still suffering.
