Hello, my name is German. I want to tell you my story. My parents abandoned me from the moment I was born. Because of this, I was raised by many people and lived in many houses. I mostly lived with my grandparents. One of my stepbrothers also lived in my grandparent’s house. We were very poor, and my grandparents couldn’t put us through school.

Because I didn’t study, I lived in the streets. I would work in the streets and in the homes of my neighbors. I was always looking for something to eat. Many times I would go to auto shops and sweep and clean. Sometimes I would stay and sleep in the mechanic’s shop. These are the places where I learned to rob and steal, but I had to do these things to survive. They would kick me out of the auto shops many times for stealing money. I would also use the money I stole to buy alcohol. I would go hang out with many bad friends, and we would drink and smoke.

One time the police caught me for stealing money. Because I was a minor, they brought me to an orphanage.  I wasn’t used to being in a Christian orphanage. After a while, I was able to learn how important God is in my life. From then on, God gave me a new perspective. I began to live a life like never before.  I was baptized in the year of 2016. I also began to study and receive an education.

Now the orphanage I have lived in is no longer able to give me an education due to financial issues. However, God has given me a new opportunity- one like never before. I have the chance to move into the care of Kings and Queens International and finish my education.
