Vanderli’s Mom, Vanderli’s Aunt, Deanna, Vanderli, Tonhetta
Vanderli has often told me his story, but I never thought I would get to meet his mom because she lives about 2,000 km away, but she came up on a bus for a visit. She used to own a cabaret. One day a prostitute came, gave her a baby boy, and left. She never saw Vanderli’s birth mom again. Since Vanderli’s new mom was busy running the cabaret, she sent Vanderli to her mom’s farm in the bush with her other biological children. Since then, the familhas becomeme Christians. There are church planters and pastors in the mix. Vanderli lives across the street from us, and his wife Tonhetta is one of Deanna’s best friends in Marabá.
