One of the most tragic cases we have had at Rescue Junction is Sony (not her real name)
From a very poor family her mother died when she was very small.
Tragically her father died following illness just two years later, leaving Sony and her two sisters orphaned.
She was 12 years old and her sisters were 9 and 7 years of age. When her father passed away than no one from community came forward to make funeral so this little girl buried her own father, but someone informed Rescue Junction about this story. We rushed to her village and brought all three girls to Rescue Junction. They have been living with us since 2009. We sent them to school and Rescue Junction became her home but last year she graduated college and told us that she wants to work for the children at Rescue Junction and now she became working colleague at Rescue Junction. Two of her sisters are still at Rescue junction and receiving the education because of your support.
As Sony says in her own words..
"I had to bury my father with my two little sisters when I was 12 years of age, we had no one to care for us and we had no food …I am sure we would have perished if it were not for Rescue Junction.
I am proud to work here to help other children like me , without your support for us this help would not be possible so I thank you all from the bottom of my heart."
