“Chadani” was born in prison. Her father, who has mental disabilities and can barely speak, was struggling to provide for Chadani and her four older siblings. In a desperate plea for help, he brought her to Olgapuri – NYF’s permanent home for orphaned, abandoned, and at-risk children.
For several years, Chadani lived in the safety and security of our children’s home. Our team stayed in touch with Chadani’s family as their situation stabilized over time.
It is a joy to announce that with Kinship Care support from NYF, Chadani has been able to return to live with her family.
Though Chadani’s mother is still absent, her siblings are now old enough to take care of her. Her older brother is 23 years old, and left school early to work to provide for the entire family. Her oldest sister, at 20 years old, will be the one caring for Chadani.
As much as Chadani enjoyed living at Olgapuri, you can see from the smile on her face that she is thrilled to be back home. NYF is pleased to be able to provide Kinship Care support to help the siblings stay together, and care for their father.
Generous support from friends like you helped to not only provide a safe home for Chadani at Olgapuri when she needed it – but also enabled her to return home and live with her family when she was able to.
Thank you.
