Sharon was born into a tumultuous home, where domestic violence was a harsh reality. Her mother often suffered physical assaults, leaving an indelible mark on Sharon's childhood. When she was just 6 years old, her parents separated, and she was forced to stay with her ailing mother.
As her mother's health declined, Sharon took on the responsibility of managing the household chores. Tragically, her mother passed away a few months later. With her father remarried and unwilling to care for her, Sharon went to live with her aunt.
Although her father provided some financial support, Sharon's life took a dark turn when he passed away when she was 8 years old. Her aunt, now her primary caregiver, began to abuse her in multiple ways. With no other options, Sharon moved to her grandmother's home, where she faced a new set of challenges.
Her grandmother, though well-intentioned, struggled to provide basic necessities, including food. Sharon felt lost and hopeless, shouldering the bulk of household responsibilities. Losing both parents had been devastating, and her circumstances seemed insurmountable.
But Sharon's life took a dramatic turn when she arrived at Orphan Shade. For the first time, she glimpsed a future filled with promise and possibility. She's deeply grateful to Orphan Shade for offering her a second chance at a happy, healthy life.
