Phaisa came to New Promise Home from her grandmother’s home. Her parents died in an accident in Mombasa when Phaisa was one year old. She is the youngest of four children, and her three brothers are taken care of by her relatives. However, no one was able to care for Phaisa. When she first arrived at New Promise Home, Phaisa cried all the time. She rarely smiled and isolated herself. Phaisa struggled with food insecurities and was afraid of the beds and bathroom. Everything was new to Phaisa because these things were not available in her grandmother’s home. 

When Marion arrived, Phaisa found her best friend! Marion truly helped Phaisa open up and receive love. Their favorite game to play together is mama and baby. Phaisa is joyful and loves to play. Phaisa loves to dance and recite memory verses. Her teachers say that Phaisa is learning quickly in school.
