Kayona was invited to a sleepover at a girlfriend’s house. But this sleepover went terribly wrong.

This annual appeal shares the soul-stirring stories of five courageous children facing unimaginable trauma: When Kayona was a teenager, she was invited to a sleepover at a girlfriend’s house. Like most sleepovers she’d been to, she expected to stay up late, paint her friend’s nails, and giggle a lot. Then there’s Jordon and James. These four and six-year-old brothers are as close as they can be. And for good reason. You see, their parents ran a meth lab in their mobile home in rural Tennessee. And DeMarcus and Maliik lived in constant fear, vulnerability, and danger. Wondering if they were going to be hurt or killed.
