Girls living at an Alabama ranch for abused children are mourning the loss of eight 'sisters' killed in a fiery crash
CNN
When eight girls from the Tallapoosa County Girls Ranch were killed in a crash in Alabama Saturday, they were taken from the sense of family and community many of them had long been searching for.
The ranch provides a home for neglected or abused school-aged children, according to the Alabama Sheriffs Youth Ranches, the nonprofit that manages the Tallapoosa County Girls Ranch and others across the state. "We lost eight young people that can make a difference in our world, we lost eight young people that didn't have a chance to have their own children, we lost eight young people that can't break the cycle of where they've been and change it for their children," Youth Ranches CEO Michael Smith told CNN. "That's a sad day."More Related News
