Joe Campbell was about to make a phone call on the chilly night of the 30th of April, 1994 in London. He had just entered a telephone booth when all of a sudden he found himself staring down at a infant who was trapped within.
Her mother gave birth to her in the stall of a public restroom all by herself. She was in a relationship that was harsh, and she was unable to provide for all of her children. She was abandoned at a telephone booth just two hours after her birth, when she was found there.
As he was getting ready to make a phone call, he became aware of an odd occurrence. He couldn’t believe that there was a baby within. Instantaneously, he placed a call to the authorities and dashed off to the hospital.
“When I realized it was a small baby, I phoned 999, and the police arrived, and the ambulance came, and that’s when I found out she was only about two hours old,” said Joe.
Later on, Kiran Sheikh was taken in by a family and raised as their own. She was given the name April by the personnel at the hospital since April is the month in which she was born.
On the other side, Joe made an effort to maintain communication with her by delivering presents, writing letters, and sending birthday cards.
However, he was given the directive by social services to severe all of his contacts with the kid, however, he continued to make attempts to get together with Kiran.
“When I inquired whether we could stay in touch, they informed me no, it wasn’t going to be feasible.
Additionally, Kiran made an effort to make contact with Joe. “He had gone above and beyond for me, also, it was written in my file that he sent me cards and gifts, yet I never got anything from him while he did.
However, he did. I wanted to express my gratitude to him in some way.”
When Joe and Kiran at last got to meet one another, they couldn’t contain their joy, moreover, Joe said that it was “one of the happiest days of my life. She is a member of my family,” and he meant it.
