More than six years have passed since Anya Loven, who went to Nigeria, met a child on the street who was unsuccessfully wandering through the city in search of food and water. The woman took the boy into her custody, she surrounded him with care and love that she may never have known before her.
The story was made public only in 2016. That famous photo where she drinks from a bottle of this exhausted man instantly flew around the world.
There is nothing surprising in the fact that millions of citizens from all over the world are concerned about the fate of the boy, they want to know how his future life has developed, where he is and how he feels. We suggest you find out.
How did it go?
According to the official version, his parents simply abandoned him on the street, where he lived alone for a year. You won’t believe why they tried it. It’s not about poverty and not about rare diseases, No! For this, they had a «heavier reason».
The boy was considered a sorcerer! Don’t be surprised, Nigerians are an extremely superstitious people. According to them, he lived an evil spirit that would bring pain and bad luck to the family. We recall that the construction site was in 2016.
The doctors at Missy Charity were able to bring him back from that world. In reality he was close to death and completely out of his mind. The fight for his life continued for several weeks, followed by months of rehabilitation.
After the boy grew stronger and his health was no longer threatened, he was placed in a shelter that was opened in 2012 with the direct participation of Loven herself. He was given the name «Hope«, which in English means »hope».
A year later, he has changed significantly and was practically no different from other children. He gained several kilograms of his own weight, his eyes came alive and a light appeared in them. Thus he began his new phase of life.
The professionals who work in an orphanage watch him closely. They note that despite the terrible story that happened to him, now he He has fully recovered and does not even remember his past on the street.
Hope calls Anya mom, as she has no one closer to her. He doesn’t blame his parents, even if they never visited him. He, like everyone else, goes to school, walks down the street and plays soccer with the other kids.
He has good academic performance and a penchant for creativity. Loven periodically posts a photo with Hope on her social networks, so that all interested people can follow her fate.
What’s with the guy now and how does he live with him?
Hope is already 10 years old and, looking at him, you never recognize the child that the world has remembered him. Thanks to Ana and others like her, he doesn’t need anything and doesn’t feel needed. His life has meaning.
The boy said that when he grows up, he would like to do charity work to help people who are in a difficult life situation. Let’s hope that nothing prevents him from realizing his dream and that he doesn’t stray from his chosen path.
