Patience
Patience
Patience’s father was a soldier and died before she turned three. She and her brother, Luke, lived with their three older siblings and their mother until her mother died from an illness. Patience's impoverished grandmother, though she tried, could not provide for her granddaughter's needs and sought help. Patience and her brother arrived at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2004. She enjoys studying music and would like to learn how to play many musical instruments. Patience has learned to stand strong in her relationship with Christ, and she knows that God is loving and just.
