Uddrag
He did so much for it, and behind it he also had much else. When he wasn't working at the internship and doing homework, he took care of his 5-year-old son Christopher, selling the medical machines to make money, and dealing with tax problems, rent problems and basically covering their basic needs.
And it does not make it any easier for him that he was kicked out of his apartment and the hostel, and in a short time his son and him had nowhere to be. They slept at a toilet.
After work he run every day down to a shelter, so his son and him had a place. He did so much for his son, and that shows that he is strong willed and that even if you have a lot of hardship, it is still possible to find happiness if you just fight and search for it.
