THE DECISIONS THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO BE MADE

"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending"

                                                                                                     - Maria Robinson

Eeny meeny miney mo
Too many live under this roof, and one of you must go

The decision is complicated, but we must live with one less
With no money, no clothes, no food; our life is a mess

We are sorry Santos; there is nothing you can do
We've made a decision; there's no place here for you

Now what to do? The street is no place for a boy with 5 years
You're a tough kid, a brave kid; but still hold many fears

I know of a place where the demons of your past can no longer haunt you
And with the love and care you need, a new ending will greet you

"Sign here and here", pronounces Casa Jackson's attorney
"We will find Santos a new home, new hope, a new journey"

The pen scribes the paper; this is the start of a new end
We will never forget your smile, your laugh, your being our friend

Well I guess this is it, look after yourself
Adios mi amor, and good luck in life…

Santos David, given up by his parents as they struggle to support his 7 other siblings. He faces an uncertain and difficult journey but the team at Casa Jackson are giving him the affection, care and support he so desperately needs during this most vulnerable time.

These are the decisions that should never have to be made, and the new endings that should never have to be lived out alone.
