A video of a little helpless girl sleeping on her grandma's gravesite, seemingly hungry and with no caregiver, pulled netizens to their heartstrings when it was first shared on TikTok.

The little girl appeared dishevelled and hungry, and there was no one in sight to take care of her by the time the video was being recorded.

Well-wishers from the Nuriyah children's home were moved when they found the lone girl who barely had the strength to even stand.

"We found her sleeping on her grandmother's grave. We are one; let us promote peace and love," the children's home said.

There was an outpouring of love and support after the video was posted, with many even expressing the desire to adopt and raise the young girl.

"It seems her only protector was her granny."

MaNsele kaKhanyile said:

"This is how I grew up: when I'm hungry, I'd sleep the whole day."

@Love said

"This just broke my heart into a million pieces. Father God bless these little babies in Jesus' name."

Little girl's transformation

A couple of months after the video was posted, Nuriyah recently posted a video showing the progress of the little girl.

Going by the clips, the well-wishers have been taking care of baby Dorcas since the moving clip was shared online.

A video posted on January 1, 2024, by the children's home showed the little girl dancing with other kids in the facility.

A clip also shared on New Year's Eve showed Dorcas looking happy as a well-wisher playfully interacted with her.

Netizens have since reacted to the sweet videos of the little girl:

@KiriC said:

"Happy New Year, Dorcus and the whole family; more blessings and love this new year."

Deedee said

"Such a beautiful smile, my little angel."

@Barbaraford888 said:

"What a big beautiful. I love it."

Baby picked from roadside becomes flower girl

TUKO.co.ke also reported about how netizens were impressed by the amazing transformation of a little child who was picked by the roadside.

Ben Kingsley Nwashara, a compassionate citizen, saw the child where she was dumped in 2022 and decided to take the risk of caring for her.

The child was almost at the point of death when Ben picked her up and took her under his custody.

Since then, the child's fortunes have changed as Ben continues to give her the care she needs to grow and glow.
