Mai was only a baby when she was sold.  Why was she sold? No one knows. The couple who bought her couldn't have children, so it seemed that maybe Mai had found a safe place to live. But three years later, that  family fell apart. Both the husband and the wife found new partners, and neither wanted Mai.  She was thrown away again.

That's when we met her. She was sleeping on a dirt floor along with 12 other abandoned children, aged 4 to 15.  What would you do if you saw 13 children with no home? No place to love and be loved? No way to go to school? No way to have a future?

You would do what Sun Young Kim and her team did.  They began a children's home. Not just any home.  They chose the name with care.  They called it "My Home".  They wanted these 13 children, and the children they receive in the future to know that here they really have a home. They will love, feed, clothe, educate and care for these heart hungry children until they are adults.  They won't be abandoned ever again.  And if anyone asks where they live, they can say the truth.

They live at "My Home"...because it is.
