Since there are two boys named Patrick at St. Joseph’s Home for Boys now, Patrick is now also known as Ti Patrick (Little Patrick)
Patrick did not grow up in a loving home. His father was not a part of his life. His mother mistreated him and often beat him. She did not allow him to go to school. One day when he was very young she kicked him out of the house and he had to live on the streets. It was there the Haitian Department of Social Services found him and brought him to the St. Joseph Family.
Now that Patrick has a home and family who love and support him he is happy and thriving. He said he likes being a part of the St. Joseph Family because “I have food to eat, a home to stay in and I get to go to school.”
