Lady saved by Grade 5 teacher

A South African lady named Leticia used to write letters to her Grade 5 teacher from an orphanage. She would request clothes and cosmetic products that the educator would deliver to them.

The teacher visited frequently, but the foster mother would sell the girls’ gifts because she believed that they didn’t deserve them. The teacher did not stop visiting and urged the sisters to study hard for a brighter future.

The educator soon realised that the orphanage was not a good place for them and took the girls in after fighting hard. Leticia testified against her dad, who had been sexually abusing her. The teacher, her husband and kids made the girls feel warm and welcome in their home.

The husband was patient when it came to earning the girls’ trust and eventually became their father figure. The sisters went to school and graduated.

Today, Leticia is struggling to find a job, but her parents are patient with her and advised her to do the same. She acknowledges the beautiful love she has received from her teacher and her family.

Leticia captioned her now-viral TikTok video:

“How that one teacher saved me and my sister’s life.”
