Our special boy David

Our junior David Hayward is a remarkable story of success.. Named after our own Papa Dave, he is a champion child who has overcome one obstacle after another since he was abandoned in hospital by his mother when he was only a few days old. Ten years on, David is flourishing and reaching new landmarks with each day that passes. Not all of you will know his his story. Mama Sue and Happy House were alerted to his plight when he was left at hospital and we supported him until he was well enough to come home to join our family. Concerned that he was not progressing as a baby should, Mama Sue took him to one doctor after another and when he was 11 months she took him to a specialist centre in Kilifi where she was told he would not amount to anything and to "take him home and love him". We did much more than give him love, sought expert advice, put a programme of three -times daily exercises into practice, and our whole family, kids and adults, encourage him to take part in everything we do. We ensure David has any additional help he needs in school and at home and time and time again he rewards our efforts with his courage and his smiles and his results. Her Mama, along with David and his best friend Abdul Malik, tells us more about his progress. Please share this video with your friends and family, we need more friends for our family and we always need more funds to out the best in every child who comes into our care. Without you our work would be impossible.
