After a year of trying to manage her children on her own, Dauphin’s widow became overwhelmed and abandoned her children. Her son, Dauphley, and his siblings were split up between various family members, and he ended up alone with an aunt.

His aunt faced many hardships, making it difficult to provide proper care for her young nephew.

Despite his loss and sorrow, Dauphley retained his sense of joy and wonder and the light in his eyes. When Danita’s Children became aware of his situation, it was clear the Lord was leading us to take him into our home. He was very eager to become a member of our family.

Dauphley joined us in 2014 at age 9 and we have made a lifetime commitment to love and care for him. A beautiful smile adorned his face as he arrived with the worn clothes on his body and an empty backpack on his shoulders as his sole possessions.

Within minutes of his arrival, he was welcomed with hugs and laughter from his new brothers. It was incredibly touching to watch his life change right before our eyes.

Rescuing, loving, and caring for orphans means providing them hope. Giving them the love of a family reminds them that they have a purpose and priceless value.
