WILLS POINT, TX – Once destined for a life of sorrow, orphaned girl Bahula discovered hope and home through GFA World’s Child Sponsorship program helping orphan children via Christ’s love.
Bahula’s stomach growled with the angry pain of being completely empty. It had been days since she had eaten, but that didn’t matter to her aunt and uncle. They still expected the little girl to complete all the family chores, and they would still beat her if she didn’t.
By now, Bahula had resigned herself to her whole life being a hardship. Her mother had died when she was just three years old, and her father, overcome by depression, died shortly after.
Without their parents, Bahula’s siblings parted ways: her brothers to pursue livelihoods and her sisters to marry. They left Bahula alone, so the girl’s aunt and uncle took her in—but they didn’t have any love to offer the orphan girl.
They enrolled her in school, but they valued her labour too much to let her attend regularly. Even when Bahula did go to school, she struggled to study at home. As years went by, Bahula began to know life only as sorrow and abuse.
