Sometimes, rarely, we lose children. Their health and physical condition are so fragile, that we cannot save their precious little lives. This is the hardest moment of my activity. To lose a child is to lose a part of myself, because I hold them all so dearly in my heart.

Kato was a child that lived in pain, even though he was dearly loved. He was born with a terrible deformity, a severe curvature of his spine, which gave him an almost… round shape, and greatly impeded breathing. He could not stand, walk, crawl, nothing.

He grew up in a family where 16 other children reside, and he was loved by his siblings. He was always in someone’s arms. At HOCT, we were blessed that Kato was nurtured and loved by one of our long-distance parents, a true heart of gold who did not look at the fact that the child was so ill – she saw the needed, and did not hesitate to help him. She was a bright light in Kato’s short, but precious life and she helped him with everything she had. I am grateful. Kato was loved.

And now, he is gone to rest in a better world, one in which little children do not have to suffer.

Today, even the nature cried for the little Kato.

If you want to make a small donation towards Kato’s family at this tragic time – there are 16 more children in the household – it will be very kindly appreciated, as we want to buy them some food.
