After Alissa’s father passed away, her mother was too overwhelmed by grief to care for her.
A relative, Christy Shaffer, stepped in — and what appeared to be an act of compassion slowly revealed itself as something far darker. 😢

Alissa stopped smiling.
Then… she stopped talking.
The laughter that once filled rooms faded into quiet, trembling breaths.

Bruises appeared where there should have been gentleness.
Fear replaced joy.And her silence grew heavier, day after day — a silence that screamed for help, even though no sound escaped her lips. 💔

Her story is a painful reminder:
A quiet child is not always a safe child.
Silence is sometimes a cry no one has answered yet. 🙏

Please, if you’re reading this, send a prayer for Alissa —
for protection, for healing, for the love she was denied.
And let your heart hold space for every child living in fear,
waiting for someone to notice.
