DANIELA WHEN I EXPLAIN MY LIFE STORY I ALWAYS CRY BECAUSE I HAVE NOBODY TO COMFORT ME BUT I ALWAYS GO TO CHURCH.” “ I WAS BORN IN PETITE GOAVE ON MAY 10, 1992. I have no knowledge about my family. I just know that I have two brothers and no sisters. I don’t know my mom or my dad. My mom passed away but my dad is still living. I don’t know any family members on my mom or my dad’s side. It seems like I have no family, like when I was a kid they just gave me up and nobody ever tried to find me. I was living with my grandpa. My grandpa likes to spank me when I do something and he hardly talks to me to correct me. I used to go to school but he found out I had a hard time to learn so he decided not to send me to school anymore. Because I was living with my grandpa I was really skinny. I did not have chance to go school anymore. I did not even know my birth date. When I explain my life story, I always cry because I have nobody to comfort me but I always go to church. I think I had a miserable life because I did not have my mom to take care of me like other moms take care of their kids. I wasn’t a believer when I was living with my grandpa. I was always telling myself if my life always has to be like that I will kill myself. Later on, God saved me from my misery and I have Jesus in my life. I always think a lot and I always said I wish I was not born because of abuse. I sit down and cry and think about my life story where God took me. I am so grateful for what God has done for me because I did not have a mom or dad to take care of me. It was my aunt who took me the King’s Garden and I did not feel good about it but this is life so I had to go in. The time came for me to leave and I had to and I would have to find a job, go to university and I had to find somebody to help me get a job so I can help myself in the future. I live in Delmas 18. I live with a lady who I call my aunt but she is not my family. This is the type of work I would like to do: bakery, that is one idea but I would like is to be a medical technologist or pharmacist. www.heartenhaiti.org
