Rescue Home

On Friday we visited one of the rescue homes in North East Mumbai which is home to six children and three carers. These children have all been saved by Vision Rescue from horrendous circumstances. There are five girls aged 4 – 15yrs and a little boy aged just 1 and a half. He was found abandoned by his mother at a railway station and no family ever came back for him. He is very malnourished and weighs only 5 Kg instead of 11kg. The four year old girl has been at the home for three weeks. Her mother left her alone for three days in the middle of the slum. Vision Rescue was informed and took her into the home. When they contacted the mother she did not want her child and requested that she be reported as dead if the police asked. One of the older girls, Joti, was thrown off a train by her father when she was just 5 yrs old. Vision Rescue paid to have her head and arm injuries treated but her head injury was so severe that she is now schizophrenic. This is an example of the amazing work that Vision Rescue is doing and it is thanks to them that these children live in a safe home with a future filled with love and hope.
