I met Allan a few years ago when he was living with his mother and siblings at Purpose Driven Academy. His mother, explained that when Allan first got sick, she dropped her other three children at their grandmother’s house and took Allan to Uganda for an operation. When she returned she found that he husband had packed up everything they owned and disappeared leaving her to care for her children alone. But Allan’s mom, Monica, never gave up and struggled to find jobs where she could work while still providing her son with the care he needs.

Allan began attending school at Precious Kids Center while his mother worked. She only had two days off a month, so we agreed to have her drop Allan off in the mornings before work and to come pick him up in the evenings after work was over. We enjoyed having Allan around and were seeing him make improvements after being around the other children at school.

The problem came when it was time for us to move to the new property. We could see how much Monica loves her son, but with us moving too far away for her to be able to drop him off and pick him up every morning that the best option would be for him to move with us to the new center. Allan has been with us full time for only three weeks and his mother comes every time she has a day off and spends the day with us, spending time with her son and the other kids as well.

Allan is a very funny boy. He loves to sing little songs to himself and twist all around in whatever chair he is sitting in. He also loves to hit and kick and you will never hear him laugh harder than when he connects with his target. We are glad that we get to spend more time with Allan and enjoy having him with us in our new home!
