Sometimes life deals its hardest blows to the ones who deserve it least.
Today, Poznań’s Municipal Family Support Center is sending out an urgent call to anyone with an open heart: they are searching for a home for Bartek, a four-year-old boy whose parents turned their backs on him.
Bartek’s story is one that breaks your heart. Locked away in a small room, denied the joy of playing, learning, or even talking to other children, Bartek grew up isolated from the world. He never had the chance to attend kindergarten. He struggles to speak, simply because no one was there to teach him.
After a police intervention, Bartek was placed temporarily with his aunt and uncle. But while they gave him a safe spot to land, they aren’t able to offer him a permanent home.
Now, Bartek needs something more — something lasting.
He needs a real family.
The Municipal Family Support Center is looking for someone strong enough to be Bartek’s safe place. Someone who can show him what love looks like, what trust feels like. A person or family who will help him catch up on all the milestones he missed — with patience, care, and lots of heart.
If you’ve ever wondered how to make a real difference, this is it.
Bartek’s story may have started in pain, but it doesn’t have to end there.
If you feel ready to offer Bartek a new beginning, please contact the Municipal Family Support Center in Poznań by phone at 505 747 862 or by email at korzyczasteczy@mopr.poznan.pl.
