Gloria Gift was found by a passerby abandoned on the side of the road, authorities were called immediately and soon she was given to the care of the loving staff at HOREC (At right, HOREC Director, Christine Wambui, with Gloria Gift). Despite the tragic circumstances of her arrival, Gloria Gift is thriving. She is full of laughter, love, and the unbreakable spirit of a child who deserves the world. She has quickly won over everyone’s hearts at HOREC.
In the early hours of the morning, just before dawn, a woman on her way to work stumbled upon a heart-breaking sight—a tiny baby girl, abandoned and wrapped in a bedsheet, with only a bottle of milk beside her. The local police quickly arrived at the scene, taking the baby into their care. The case was then escalated to the Children’s Department, which reached out to HOREC for immediate intervention. When she was brought to HOREC Gloria Gift was frail and weak, suffering from severe malnutrition. They immediately placed her on a specialized nutritional program to stabilize and strengthen her. At first, she was unable to stand, her little legs too fragile to support her weight. But with time, love, and proper care, she has made incredible progress—today, she can stand on her own, though she is still learning to take her first steps. Since she had no known name, we now call her Gloria Gift—a reflection of the light and hope she brings. The other kids have taken her under their wing, carrying her around like their precious little sister. If she could talk, we’re sure she’d have a long list of “chauffeurs” fighting over who gets to carry her next!
It is heart breaking to think that someone abandoned such a pure soul, but we are grateful she found her way to us. Now, she has a chance for a future filled with love and opportunity.
