A girl full of dreams, Radhika was 13 years old when she stepped into Sanrakshan Rainbow Home. Her parents were daily wage workers and lived in a temporary shed. They abandoned all the children and went away.
She has three siblings, the oldest among them is already married and takes care of her siblings, the other two siblings stay with the sister’s family and are pursuing their education in classes 10th and PU respectively. Renuka is the guardian, took care of her siblings by working and later put them into CCI. Rajeshwari studied till 7th in Kodihalli Namma Mane before she came to the CCI. The children have no relatives.
The child recalls finding herself scared and alone when her parents abandoned her. She was a small baby left near a garbage site. The feeling what Radhika went through at such an age is unimaginable. The child has an ear problem from a young age where she was bit by insects when left in that garbage site.
There was no news and whereabouts of her parents when a missing complaint was filled. Devoid of parental care and affection, at Sanrakshan she was provided with all the nurturance that was needed to make her feel safe, she was given a loving environment along with a happy childhood while empowering her to be truly herself.
Radhika is in 9th grade now, hard working, brilliant in studies, highly insightful and courteous. She loves singing and is amazing in how she presents herself and extremely sensible for her age. She has good communication skills and is responsible. Honest, determined and admirable for her problem solving skills, she understanding the depths of life from her experiences always takes a lead to guide her friends in the right path.
The Underlying Trauma makes her not want to vent out or share anything and not have very close friends but is mostly to herself.
She is loving, caring and respects everyone around her. Her resilience and grit in those tough times show beyond doubt that Radhika stands out as a role model to all of us.
This little inspirer is making her way to winning laurels.
