Unfortunately, her loving grandmother passed on and Katie was all by herself, since no one was willing to take her up. The neighbors around contacted the police that had to find where Katie could be temporally as her relatives are traced in order to be reunified by her family members. Until now nobody has been found, so she will stay with us.

Katie is 26 years old and has epilepsy. Before Katie came to live at Home of Hope, she was staying with her very old grandmother.
