My family is poor so when my mother became sick my father had to work for extra money for her treatment in Delhi. I was left responsible to care for mother and younger brother. I am just 10 years old. Street life is not easy. In fact every day is a struggle. I left the school because we moved from village to Delhi. I wanted to keep studying but my father said he cannot give me money for education. My father handed over a basket to sell fruits and vegetables on street. I would get abused by adults and the police, but I had no choice as I had to make money.

All I could do was bear the abuse and exploitation every day. I came to know about Shraddha Seva Sanstha who supports street and working children. It took the dedicated staff speaking to my parents and I daily for a month before they could allow me to go the contact point gave me access to education and the chance to play and be a child again.
