On a bitterly cold evening, Lili, an elderly woman with a kind heart, found a young boy named Harry shivering alone by a lamppost. Harry begged for shelter, explaining he had nowhere else to go. Moved by his plight, Lili brought him inside to warm up, offering him cookies and cocoa. As Harry relaxed by the fire, he bravely shared the harsh truth about his overcrowded and neglectful foster home.

Lili immediately called the police to help, but Child Protective Services dismissed Harry’s claims and returned him to his foster family without a proper investigation. Frustrated but undeterred, Lili decided to take matters into her own hands. She visited the rundown foster home herself, witnessing the cold, unfriendly atmosphere and fearful children firsthand.

That night, driven by compassion and courage, Lili returned with a ladder and helped Harry and several other children escape through a window. When stopped by police during their escape, the children bravely spoke out about the abuse they endured, prompting an official investigation and their rescue.

A year later, Harry—now Lili’s adopted son—thrived in a safe, loving home. Together, they visited the other children who had also found happiness and hope. Through her bravery and kindness, Lili had transformed many lives, including her own.
