Sobre IBD

Barely 17 is dedicated to the children born by chance, deserted by adults and left to sustain life on their own. This story traces the life of a young Mother, often the sole provider, through the birth of 5 children under l7 years. Through poverty and hardship, they prevailed. The bond between Mother and children is heartwarming and often brings a smile to our lips. Likewise, the trials and tragedies easily bring heartbreaking tears to overflow. Our home has been both shelter and emotional stability to several displaced children and teens throughout the years. This story draws from many of their life experiences. In far too many cases, teen suicide is the end result, a senseless and heartbreaking tragedy.
