"We had come for a vacation in Kenya when my parents left me behind. I have no idea where they are. My friend took me off the street and brought me here, where they work. He told me we can work here and get something to eat," Andy said.

Andy said he had to survive by blending in with his new family in Dandora, Nairobi County.

He spoke fluent American English and shared his background and upbringing before coming to Kenya.

Andy narrates his challenging moment in Kenya

One of his lowest and most challenging moments was sleeping in the streets before finding a new family.

"When people speak to me and hear how I talk, some criticise me, saying I am faking, while others expect me to have money. Adapting to the new life here has been difficult, but I am trying. I have felt even more Kenyan since I came here in 2020.
I am looking forward to that Kenyan citizenship," he happily said.

The teenager added that he could not tell the nationality of his biological parents as he barely spent time with them in his early childhood.

According to the young man, he was the son of Rebecca Makhulu of Kaimosi Nursery School and attended Kaimosi Primary School and Friends School Kigma for secondary education.
