On 23rd April 2005 is the day that Antony was born. A cute and dazzling baby offered to a middle classed couples who practiced a “come we stay” form of marriage.

Years went by and in no time Antony was a teenager. At the age of 14, rumbles and continuous disagreement between Antony’s parents sprouted its roots,his father would come home as drunk as a lord to the extent that he wasn’t aware of what was going on.He would be violent and vulgar language.

What kind of unpleasant life that Tonny found himself in? This continued for a couple of months.Antony’s mother could not tolerated no more that she promised herself to leave her marriage life. So she moved away and left Antony’s father. As a mother who cares about the needs of her child, she never left him to live with a fortuneless drunkard.

Life turned upside down on her side and really changed from that of middle class to a very humble one. This kind of life threw her into slums where every kind of vulgar activities took place; smoking of bhang,cigarettes,alcohol abuse and many forms of substance abuse.

Paying school fees,rent and other bills overwhelmed her.Lack of school fees led Antony spending most of his time with the people in the slum area.They introduced him to bhang and substance abuse at the age of 15.They told him that bhang would relieve him from all forms of stress but this was not the case for it brought him more distress than those he had; it became something that he could not live without. He lived to regret this in his life.

God came through eventually and he was rescued with a kind hearted family Children’s Garden Home that helped him gain a different perspective of life .

Now he is a God fearing individual living with no fear and worries of what to eat or wear as God has used all the well wishers around the world through Children’s Garden to cater for him.
