Abraham's mother was an orphaned woman who became pregnant after being raped at the sewing shop where she worked. Having no family to turn to, she contemplated having an abortion, but did not follow through with it. A social worker had compassion on the woman and cared for her during her pregnancy and delivery. Soon after giving birth to Abraham, the mother and child sought shelter in the WMF children's home. Abraham's mother was given some sewing work to do for the home, while Abraham received much needed health care and attention. Abraham came to the home very ill, suffering greatly with diarrhea and vomiting. He passed away just two months after joining the WMF family.
