Being Homeless

Marina

Since she had never been out in the city before, Marina found herself homeless. Though she was wandering the streets without a destination, Marina was fine as long as she was away from the brothel. She went to a park in the city center and joined the homeless children. She slept alongside the other homeless kids and she felt a sense of belonging for the first time. Marina finally felt fresh and free again…

An Escape Plan

Marina then looked for a job and ended up working as a maid for a family. The family ended up being criminals who actually enslaved poor Marina. She stayed with the family for some time until somebody finally came to her rescue Marina was lucky to meet a woman named Maruja. Maruja was the neighbor and she knew what happened to Marina. She wanted to rescue her so bad and so she tried helping Marina…

Maruja

Maruja bought Marina a ticket to fly to Bogota. This was where one of her kids lived. Marina received her very first gift which was a pale blue satin dress, a hair clip, white socks and a pair of shiny white shoes from this lovely neighbor. While residing in Bogota, Marina joined the business that the family held which was textiles. She was a hard worker so she did well at work. Maruja eventually adopted Marina and was given this name.

Happily Ever After

Their business picked up nicely so the whole family shifted to Bradford, England during the time it was the hub of the wool industry. Marina joined the family and was working as a nanny too. She was about to meet her future husband, John Chapman when she attended church one day. They soon tied the knot and had kids on their own. Marina has written books about her life with help from her kids but her jungle history is a long forgotten past now.
