One day last July, Mary Stanton was waiting for a Mass to begin at Baltimore's Cathedral of Mary Our Queen when a little boy ran up and hugged her. His name was John Gaver, then 8 years old, the youngest of five Ukrainian orphans adopted by Barbara Gaver, a Mount Washington child and family counselor. Stanton, a religion teacher, became fast friends with the Gaver family. So when it came time for Stanton's sophomore classes at Mount de Sales Academy, a girls school in Catonsville, to do a Lenten service project, she suggested raising money for the orphanage where John and his sister, Lana, had lived in squalid conditions.

Cynthia Gaver, the co-founder of Dundalk Avenue Area Residents Together (DAART), gave her reaction. "It should be dead," Gaver said, "with a hole in its heart."
