Virginia 

I come from a family of 6 children, and I do have a mother and father. However, one day as I was walking to school, I was attacked by a stranger who left me for dead in the bushes. Passersby found me, and I was taken to the hospital where I was in a coma for 2 weeks. Although I recovered physically, I now have emotional and mental trauma that make it difficult for me to go back to school and live in the same neighborhood. I need professional counseling and a safe environment. Living at the Mukaa Children’s Home is helping me to heal and know I am loved.

My birthday is January 1, 2011.
