Anya found the child on the street in critical condition and immediately took him to the hospital, where he received immediate medical attention. Treatment bills were paid thanks to those around the world who could not remain silent.

Hope’s (as the boy was called) condition gradually improved, he started to gain weight and strength, and the threat to his life faded.

The child was placed in a shelter home that Anya and her husband had set up. There he made new friends – the same children who were prejudiced by adults. boy considers Anya as his mother

Hope is now ten years old and attends school, where he loves learning. Regardless of what happened to him, he grows up to be a kind, cheerful child with great plans for the future. We can state with certainty that the boy will be fine with such a mentor!

In turn, Anya Ringgren continues the incredible job by caring for children in need.
