Joseph has suffered a lot. His father died leaving his mother to cope with five children. All she could do was try to cultivate enough to support her family, but this proved too difficult and she eventually left Joseph in the care of his grandmother. As life became ever tougher, Joseph ran off to the streets with his cousin to try to scratch a living.
Fortunately he was found and taken into the Sunshine Home where he is settled and doing very well at school. He has a sponsor who supports him and he is very happy. Recently he has made contact with his mother again, and he still visits his grandmother during the school holidays.
£20 a month helps pay for a Sunshine Boy’s food, clothes, medical expenses and staff costs.
