At the age of 9, Gloria’s life was anything but peaceful. Raised by a single mother, she did not have a proper home to live in, regular meals, or even a regular allowance.
But that all changed three years ago, when foster parents Joyce & Teh Hsin welcomed her into their family and gave her a place to call home.

@@RonLarhz With or without a religious God in this world, there will always be poor families and rich families. When there are winners, there are also losers. Where does capitalism get money from? You can choose whatever believe you want. You can say that the girl is just extremely lucky. Or you can say that there is a God who is working behind the scenes. Should people call you a turd for the former? Although you're acting like one :'D

My grandmother liked children so she fostered a lot of children from all sorts of backgrounds and races. She used to take care of this british young girl then one day her parents just came to get her and never came back. But thankfully, she also took care and fostered this young Singaporean girl from when she was a toddler in the 1970s and fast forward to 2020, she was adopted and is my aunt now
