Not long ago a young lady, Angel*, arrived at the Setshabelo Family and Child Services. This poor woman had survived rape and had become pregnant. Despite having gone through this horrible ordeal, Angel decided to keep the pregnancy. She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl whom she named Opelong, which means "she lives/remains in my heart."
Due to the circumstances, Angel made the tough decision to leave Opelong with SFCS as she felt she didn't have the necessary support to raise her child. This incredible woman then took the initiative to go through counseling with SFCS social workers through the Victim Empowerment Program. Through therapy and hard work, Angel has since been reunified with Opelong and is working hard to raise her beautiful daughter.
We are so proud of Angel and of Opelong and we know, with your prayers, they will have a long and beautiful life together.
*not her real name
