Abdi came from the small town of Guji where he lived with his mother but never knew his biological father. His mother had two children with his stepfather, who did not treat Abdi well. Besides, his mother was gone all day selling tea and bread but did not make enough money to support the family. So due to the mistreatment by his stepfather and the extreme lack of basic needs he was experiencing, Abdi ran away from home to the city streets.
