Haven Turns 5



Haven Faith Shepherd will turn five this month and is showing off that she has lost her two front teeth. Haven is such a special child. She was born in Vietnam and has lived in the states for the last three years on a medical visa. Haven has an amazing story. Her parents were both married but were having a romantic love affair and she was the love child they conceived. They were destined to be together but their families would not allow them to get a divorce. They decided their lives were hopeless and attempted a family suicide, strapping a homemade bomb to their family. They both died, but Haven survived losing both of her lower legs. She walks with prosthetic legs and there is no doubt will fulfill her dreams and destiny. Touch A Life is so grateful that God has allowed us to be a part of Haven's life. Her journey has paved the way for us to help many more children.

Happy Birthday Haven, we love you!
