“Please forgive me.. they need water and food.” A father leaves his two daughters in Damascus because of poverty

He left his two daughters on a bench in a hospital in Damascus with a sheet of paper that read “Please forgive me,” indicating that the two girls had not eaten anything and that they needed water and food.

One of the doctors in the hospital that the father chose to leave his two daughters in, in the hope that they would receive care, published what happened and described what he saw as “heartbreaking that can never be described,” and published what was included in the paper that the father left with his two daughters:

The two children are now in the care of a lady who wrote:

“How sweet it feels for someone who wakes up and finds his 3 children, as if they were his own… I don’t know whether to cry or laugh.”

Heidi Hafi tells RT how I followed the story since I read what was published about it, from the police station to the hospital, and then contacted the father, and thus there were 3 children in her home. She persuaded the father to join the two children’s brother.

She says that she acted like a mother, and went to the police station to ask about the two girls, and then to the hospital, where she posted a video of the two girls that included an appeal to the father not to leave them.

She adds that she got the father’s number, and when she called him, “he was crying, saying that he regretted what he had done,” and now he does not want to talk about what happened, and describes his condition at the moment he left his two children as “I was not only desperate, but completely unconscious.”

The father has 3 children of approximately the same age, between one and three years.

The father recounts in a recording published by Heidi that he is retired from the army, and was working in the distribution of detergents, and had to take his children with him, after he separated from his wife after disagreements, and it became difficult for him to care for children, especially since he does not have a house, and lives in a small room, It is not a room, but a small corridor, and frankly, a barn is of no use,” says the father, and confirms that he is unable to pay the rent for a room.

The father talks about the harsh conditions he is living in, in addition to his suffering with heart disease, inadequate housing, and that his children were in a dangerous situation, suffering from illness.

“I had no solution left, and I said: the last cautery medicine,” says the father, who thought of a number of options, the best of which was to put his children in a hospital, he says, because he expected them to receive care.

Heidi says that the three children will remain with her now, pending the securing of a house for rent, and indicates that she has received several calls from those who offered to help, and confirms that she will not abandon them, whether there is someone who wants to help or not.
