You Found Miklos a Loving Home!
Margit huddled up on the park bench, trying to stay warm.
The Hungarian night was chilly, but Margit didn’t have anywhere else to sleep. She pulled her jacket tighter around her bony shoulders, worrying about her preborn child.
“I can barely take care of myself,” Margit thought. “How will I ever take care of this baby too?”
Thankfully, you came to Margit’s side. Because of your generosity, her son is now growing up in a loving home.
Your Missionaries Wanted to Help Margit Find a Home and Quit Prostitution
When your missionaries first met Margit, her life was spiraling out of control. As a girl, she’d been sucked into Budapest’s prostitution rings. This quickly led to drug addiction, STDs, and homelessness.
In this desperate situation, Margit found you. Your missionaries hoped to help her turn her life around and get back on her feet.
Sadly, Margit struggled to receive help. Your missionaries wanted to provide nourishing meals, give her medical attention, and help her quit prostitution. But Margit would vanish for days, reappearing when she became desperate. Despite this, you never gave up on her.
Margit Asked Your Missionaries to Find a Family for Her Son
Because the city’s maternity homes were overflowing with moms, Margit couldn’t find a place to stay. So, she asked your missionaries to find a loving couple to adopt her son.
When women are in tough situations, abortion seems like an easy out. That’s why your missionaries at HLI Hungary run an adoption program. Your generosity offers moms a life-saving solution.
Because of you, missionaries reached out to Agnes and József. This married couple desperately wanted a child. They happily agreed to adopt Margit’s son.
Because of You, Agnes and József Adopted Miklós
Agnes and József were excited to meet Margit, but a month before her due date, Margit disappeared. For weeks, your missionaries didn’t see or hear from her.
Finally, one day, a call came from a Missionary of Charity. Margit had just given birth at a local hospital. Your missionaries hurried to see her.
Margit was happy to see your missionaries. And she was delighted to meet Ágnes and József. They quickly grew to love Margit and baby Miklós.
Because of you, Ágnes and József officially adopted Miklós. They promised Margit that her son would grow up in a loving, holy family.
Because of You, Baby Miklós is Growing Up in a Loving Home!
Stories like Margit’s are bittersweet. Today, because of your amazing generosity, baby Miklós is thriving! Ágnes and József are delighted by their new baby boy.
However, your missionaries are unsure where Margit is now. After Miklós’s adoption was finalized, Margit disappeared again. She didn’t even say a final goodbye. Please keep her in your prayers.
With your continued generosity, missionaries in Hungary will continue helping women like Margit. With enough support from donors like you, HLI Hungary hopes to one day open a motherhouse. Then Moms like Margit could have a place to stay while they get back on their feet. With your help, some of these moms may even be able to raise their own children in safe and loving homes.
