For over three years, Chapman lived on the streets of Cúcuta. She resorted to a life of petty crime — merely as a means of survival. Chapman joined fellow homeless children in forming a street gang. Amidst all of this, she never fully abandoned her traits from the past. She’d still routinely climb trees within the city. By the age of 14 years old, Chapman met a woman named Maruja Eusse. From this point on, her life would forever be changed for the better.
