Shanel has a painful life story. Her father died from HIV/AIDS, and her mother suffers from mental disabilities that prevents her from caring for children. Shanel lives with her uncle, but he has seven biological children and six nieces and nephews to care for. They go hungry all the time. Shanel is in poor health. She needs medication and nutritious food to get better.
