Tony Mutabazi was placed in a foster home when he was just two years old, and he has lived there ever since and has no idea who his original parents were.
When he was 11 years old, he was abandoned in a hospital, and his foster parents never came back for him.
At that time, Jessica, a lady working at the hospital, called Peter, a single guy who was well-known for taking in foster children who were in challenging circumstances.
After listening to Tony’s story, he agreed to accept Tony for two days, but ever since then, the two of them have been inseparable. At this time, Patrick is his official dad, and the two of them live in South Carolina together.
Patrick said: “When I found out that the parents’ rights had been waived and that he had nowhere else to go, I knew that I had no choice but to take him in. I had the space, and I had the resources, so there was no need for me to leave him.”
Tony is described by Patrick as the kindest and most intelligent youngster that one could ever hope to come across.
Peter described his childhood in Uganda, which is located in Africa, and how he was subjected to a great deal of mistreatment at the hands of his family. At the age of ten, he escaped his family and was taken in by a kind guardian.
“They eventually adopted me and became my family, even though my family was one of the poorest on the whole globe, i was raised in an environment where I was never discouraged from dreaming or told that I had no future.”
Patrick was able to make it to the United States in the end, and he is now volunteering his time with an organization that assists some of the neediest children in the world.
He said: “Because of something that was done for me, I felt compelled to return the favor to another person.”
Tony is currently doing well in school and has aspirations of continuing his education at the collegiate level so that he may assist people who are less fortunate than himself.
