In 2006, I was a young woman living in a small town in India. I had a good job, a loving family, and a comfortable life. But I felt like something was missing. I knew that I wanted to do something more with my life, something that would make a difference in the world.

One day, I was walking home from work when I saw a group of children playing in the street. One of the children was a little girl, about five years old. She was sitting on the ground, crying. I went over to ask her what was wrong, and she told me that she had been abandoned by her parents.

I was heartbroken. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to be a child and not have a home or a family. I took the little girl home with me and gave her something to eat. I also called the police and reported her abandonment.

The police were able to find the little girl's parents, but they didn't want her back. They said that they were too poor to take care of her. I was shocked and saddened. I couldn't believe that parents would abandon their own child.

I decided to keep the little girl and raise her as my own. I named her Asha, which means "hope" in Hindi. Asha quickly became a part of my family. She was a happy and loving child, and I was so grateful to have her in my life.

Asha's story inspired me to start a non-profit organization called Hope for Abandoned Children. The mission of Hope for Abandoned Children is to provide a safe and loving home for abandoned children in India.

Since 2006, Hope for Abandoned Children has helped over 500 abandoned children. We have provided them with food, shelter, clothing, medical care, and education. We have also helped them to find permanent homes with loving families.

The work of Hope for Abandoned Children has been incredibly rewarding. I have seen firsthand the difference that we can make in the lives of these children. They are now happy and healthy, and they have a bright future ahead of them.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to help these children. It has been a life-changing experience for me, and it has taught me the true meaning of compassion.
