FAMILY BACKGROUND:

When the boy's father was about 53 years old, he got a woman pregnant and she gave birth to a boy which is Huai bin's older brother, Li Huai yu, born in 2003. This woman came from Guizhou and didn't have legal ID so the local police station couldn't give them a legal marriage permission. The father gave Li Huai yu to his sister to raise for a few months after his birth. In 2006 his illegal wife was pregnant again and after she gave birth to Huai bin she had a stroke and became paralyzed. The father wasn't of good health. He claimed he had heart problems, high blood pressure and arthritis. He got Li Huai yu back from his sister when he was about 5 years old and put him in preschool for a short period of time. For many years they couldn't register either of his two boys' ID since he didn't have a legal marriage with his wife. The local police officer helped them and put both of these two boys' ID under their uncle's ID book. This uncle helped take care of both of these two boys since this man was sick and meanwhile he had to take care of his paralyzed wife. The village leader kept saying that this family was the poorest of the poorest families. Every level of government tried to offer some help. His father collects trash for some income.

We brought Li Huai yu to our home first to help this family in March 2011 but the situation continued to be so bad. A year later after further research, in March 2012 we brought the little one Li Huai bin also into our home.
