Bawi Nun Tluang came to Zion Childrens Home with his two siblings after a series of losses. Their mother passed away from breast cancer, and their father died not long after due to alcohol addiction. Their grandmother took them in and cared for them, but the war forced the family to leave their town, and they spent three years living in a refugee camp. After their grandmother passed away, the children came to Zion. While waiting for treatment for his mother, Bawi Nun fell into a septic tank one night and was not found until the next day. He had suffered serious brain damage and has had difficulty walking ever since.
