Madeleine

Madeleine and her two sisters – Carmen and Lucero – came to live at the Villa in December.  Madeleine was placed in the Salomón Klein Home when she was four months old because her mother was abusive. She now has psychological problems and has to use a wheelchair because of other health issues.  Madeleine needs close supervision, as she will walk off with anyone, even people she has just met.  Because of her past experiences, she demands considerable attention, sleeps badly and often wakes up crying at the night. However, she has been embraced by the children and adults at the Villa, and we are all committed to helping her overcome her emotional and physical challenges.
