CNN —Mercy Esther was eight years old when she left home. Mercy Esther was born with a deformity in one foot, causing a pronounced limp. One day, while begging, Mercy Esther was approached by a woman who offered her domestic work and more promises: a new home, a wage and good treatment. She went with the woman, but instead Mercy Esther was abused and received no money for her labor. Marek Klosowicz/Kulczyk FoundationCNN met Mercy Esther through the Poland-based Kulczyk Foundation, which supports WoteSawa.
