Hello my name is Johnny. My story is based on a very poor family.
In 2008 a family lived in a house which they rented. They worked hard,
collecting junk from the streets (mostly metal), which they then sold in order
to pay their rent. They worked 7 days per week, all day, and never missed a
rent payment.
The girls in this family were mostly aged between two and nine years of
age. The girls in this family walked the streets, helping their grandmother
collect junk to sell (they didn’t go to school) because their mother had left
them to be with a man.
In 2010 this family was evicted from their house, by their landlord, and
this made my mother very sad. My mother asked this family if they would like to
sleep in our house for the night. They quickly agreed.
The next morning my father and mother discussed the problem for a long
time. This situation was serious and troublesome. My parents came up with a
solution, to have the family live with us permanently. My father, brother and I
constructed a one-room dwelling for this family to live in.
With time the grandmother began to really trust my mother. One day she
explained to my mother why they had been suddenly evicted.
The landlord had been raping her granddaughters and giving them money.
The grandmother didn’t know about it at the time. Eventually the neighbours
worked out what was happening and they told the grandmother, who became furious
with this man. She confronted him about this tragedy and he became angry and
sent them all out onto the street.
This family is now very happy, because they live in peace. Sometimes they
do not have enough to eat, but they are free!
My Mum wants this family to be a part of our family, because that is the
heart of God and it is what he would want for them.
God bless you, Amen.
