“Child, what brings you here?” a gentle voice inquired. A nun, her eyes kind and filled with concern, approached Sophia, wrapping a warm blanket around her shivering form.

“I have nowhere to go,” Sophia whispered, her voice barely audible. “My family… they’ve turned me away.”

The nun, Sister Agnes, listened patiently as Sophia poured out her story, her words halting and broken by fresh tears. Sister Agnes’s heart ached for the girl, so young and already burdened with unimaginable hardships. She offered Sophia solace, a place to stay, and the promise of safety.
