Matthew lives with his father and stepmother. Matthew’s mother left his father over a dispute when he was very young. His father is a builder, and his stepmother manages the home. Matthew’s father is not able to meet the family’s needs and consistently provide for Matthew’s school expenses. Matthew completed Class 2, but now he spends his days in the street trying to make money so he can eat more than the one meal he is given each day. Once he was sponsored, he was able to continue his education. Matthew wants to be a doctor in the future and his favorite subject is English.
