  • S5 EP8: Hope in Moldova // Overcoming Human Trafficking on the Frontlines
    Apr 1 2025

    In this episode, we take you to Moldova, where countless children face the harsh realities of poverty, abandonment, and vulnerability to trafficking. We hear from Anastasia as she shares the powerful story of Dima, a 15-year-old boy once lost in the streets, struggling without a stable home or family support. Known as the most difficult child at the local day center, Dima's life took a dramatic turn when a dedicated mentor stepped in, offering not just guidance but genuine love and belonging.

    Through simple acts of kindness—sharing meals, providing a safe space, and showing unwavering support—Dima’s life began to change. Now, he’s not just surviving; he’s thriving, even stepping into a leadership role at the center that once fought to keep him from slipping through the cracks.

    Join us as we explore the impact of consistent love, the power of community, and the transformation that happens when one child is seen, known, and given a chance at a future. This is a story of hope, redemption, and the unseen heroes working to change lives in Moldova.
