Loom International

We train the people who work with the Mercys of the world, those traumatized and left orphaned, and those who overnight lose their world. The goodness of God is demonstrated through these faithful carers. They had so many questions, and little training in trauma-informed care. There are too many children for the amount of caregivers. They live with secondary trauma from all they hear and see. And yet they rise again. Listen again. Love again. They have propellers on their backs and rockets on their feet.
