When his mother died, his stepfather could not take care of Wilguens (Jacque) and his sister, Fabiola. Many times, they were left alone while his stepfather went to look for work, to buy food. The children became severely malnourished. Their stepfather decided to take both children to Social Services and they brought the children to Love A Child.

Wilguens is a strange or “different” little boy. He’s quiet but respectful. He is now ten and the kids nicknamed him, “Grandpa!” He acts like a little old man! He is in 5th grade, is one of the best students in his class, and he is quiet, shy, but willing to work.

He loves playing with his brothers, learns quickly, and loves to read the Bible and sing with others. The kids say, “he dances like King David!” Ha! Not sure what that means! He would like to be a mechanic, but he is very intelligent. He is probably not sure what he wants to do in life. We all love “Grandpa!!”
