​​Richard went to the streets looking for food and money to help his mother.
Richard has six siblings.  Twelve years ago, his parents divorced.  His father took three children one night and left the other kids, including Richard. Richard’s mother had no way to support the remaining children. As a result, Richard dropped out of school and  went to the streets looking for food and money to help his mother. At MindLeaps, he has particularly enjoyed the dance classes, and now he is excited about the possibility of returning to school.
