I want to tell you the stories of some of the children, about how they came to our shelter:
David is now 12 years old. On the second day after giving birth to him, his mother brought him to her sister. She asked her to look after him for a couple of days while she handled some paperwork. After that, the mother disappeared, and no one ever saw her again. Some say she died, others say she’s in prison, and others say she went to work in Malaysia. The fact is, she became pregnant with David in Malaysia, where she was working and living with a Malaysian man.
In short, let’s not dig into David’s mother’s life — the fact remains that his aunt took the newborn boy, raised him, and tried to give him everything she could while she herself was unmarried. Her first husband left her a few years after their wedding, and she married a second time. She had her own children, and unfortunately, a year ago her second husband left her as well — leaving her alone with a one-year-old boy and a three-year-old girl. Plus David, who was already 7 years old at the time.
It became too hard for his aunt to care for three children, so she began looking for a shelter that could take David in. Her acquaintances got in touch with us, and that’s how David came to live with us.
