My name is Boy, and I am 5 years old. My mommy died recently. I am not sure what was wrong with her
but she got really skinny and coughed a lot. People would tease her and say something about is your white
boyfriend helping you now? My
mommy doesn’t have a boyfriend, I don’t understand. My mommy was always home when I got back from school. Before
I ate dinner she would get dressed up like my teenage cousin with a skirt and
high heels, like she was a model.
She would tell me goodbye and that she would see me the next day after
school. When I would wake up to go
to school my uncle would tell me that my mommy was at work and that I would get
to see her later. I wished so much
that she could be home more, now I just wish that she were alive.
After my mommy died I got very sad and cried for a really
long time. I still cry, but that
is because I overheard my uncle talking on the phone. I don’t know who he was talking to but he was talking about
me. He said that I am very
handsome and fit and in a few more years I will be ready to sell. What will I be selling? Or is he selling me? No… My uncle loves me, at least that is
what he says. No one buys
little boys, do they??? One day he even told me that foreigners would love me
and that I would bring in lots of money for the family. I don’t want to let him down, but when
he talks I get scared and I cry. I
don’t know why I cry but all I know is that I miss my mommy.
I didn’t cry when a white lady and a Thai man came to my
house the other day. They talked
to my uncle for a long time about wanting me to come live at Abba’s House. I don’t really want to move but when
they talked I wanted to go.
They even said they have a bed for me and that I would live in a room
with another little boy named La.
My uncle seemed interested but not as interested as he seemed when he
was talking about me making money.
I thought I would live here in my home forever with my uncle but he
doesn’t seem to want me. I sure do
miss my mommy!
This is a story based off of the true life of a 5 year old
little boy in Chaing Mai, Thailand.
His uncle who is a lady boy (man living as a woman) wants to sell his 5-year-old
nephew into prostitution.
Fortunately he must wait a few years until the boy is older. The boy’s mother was a prostitute and
died of AIDS, giving her son to her brother. The leadership at Abba House found out about this
young boy and they are praying that the uncle will give the boy to them to
raise. Unfortunately, the uncle
wants Abba House to pay him for the child, which they do not do. PLEASE PRAY with us that the Spirit of
God will allow the uncle to release the young boy to Abba House to be raised up
as a Godly young man, changing his life here on Earth and for eternity!
