Irene is the younger half-sister to Loice, who has been living in the orphanage for five years. Loice's mother passed away when she was very young and her father remarried. Her father and his new wife had six more kids, including Irene, before Irene's mom also passed away. Their father has been selling fruit to try and provide for his children, but the burden of feeding and caring for all of them on his own had led him to a point of despair. One night, he spiraled into such a dark place, he tried to poison himself along with the six kids. Irene's older sister, Gladys, had to hide all of the kids, including Irene, from their father in the streets of the slum for the night. The next morning Gladys went and found Loice in the church and told her about the dangers they had faced. Loice was incredibly worried about her younger siblings and alerted Mama Hellen and Pastor Richard immediately. In attempts to alleviate the father's burdens, Mama Hellen and Pastor Richard let all of the six children come to Seeds Primary School for free. For a little while that seemed to help and their father had gotten to a better place, but things have started to spiral downwards again. Irene is a beautiful 11 year old with an incredible smile that hides an enormous amount of pain and hardship. All she desires is for safety for her and her siblings so that they can focus on school and improving their lives. It is imperative that the children are rescued and are brought to a new, safe environment. Are you able to come alongside Irene and bring her to safety?
