Julmiste Sony is an 11‑year‑old boy who was brought to our shelter because his family lacked the resources to care for him. The area he came from faces deep poverty, and daily life often meant going without enough food, living in unstable conditions, and trying to manage hardship far beyond what a child should carry.

​

Julmiste has a seriousness about him that shows in his expression. He watches people closely, keeps his guard up, and carries himself with a maturity that feels older than his years. He isn’t unfriendly, just cautious, shaped by experiences that have taught him to stay alert and protect himself.
