Erika Kirk is going through what someone never should have to experience. Her husband, Charlie Kirk, was killed some weeks ago, which left a wife without a husband and two children without a father.

Its mission was to support children in orphanages across Romania by sending them letters and gifts. Also they arranged visits from members of the US. military

The claim spread online through several accounts. One post that had more than 4.6 million views read, “Did ya’ll know Erika Kirk is banned from Romania because her Evangelical group was accused of trafficking children out of Romanian villages? Birds of a feather I suppose.”

Another post, posted on Threads, claimed, “In 2011 Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie, had a “ministry” in Romania that worked with the U.S. government, until Romania told her ministry to leave. Go research why. I’ll give you a hint. Epstein and Trump. Her ministry was accused of trafficking children from the village. – don’t believe me, do your research.”
