At the bustling Delhi Metro Station, Samar* stood disoriented, unknowingly drugged by exploiters, lost in the tide of commuters. Our field partners spotted him among the crowds, approaching him with compassion. They stayed by his side for four hours, offering food and water. Gradually, Samar felt safe enough to share his father’s phone number, though he feared how his father might react. When they contacted him, they learned that Samar’s father had been searching tirelessly for a week without help from authorities, fearing he might never see his son again. Overcome with relief, he rushed the 25 miles to the station. Though Samar was afraid, his father’s reaction was pure joy. Amidst the chaos, they embraced, bound by love and hope—a reunion marking a new beginning. *Pseudonym
