Harold was abandoned by his natural parents at the doorstep of a home in Malaybalay, Bukidnon. Because Harold was sick and weak with high fever, the family who owned the house brought him to a doctor where he was diagnosed to have sepsis. The family who found Harold is economically hard up and cannot cope with his medical needs so they sought the help of the social welfare system who in turn referred Harold to an orphanage on February 5, 1992. Harold remained very sick and yellowish in color and was again examined by a doctor. The result of his blood test was that he was positive with Hepatitis-B. He was also brought to an eye-ear and throat specialist for eye examination and was found to have cataracts on both eyes. According to the examining doctor, an operation was required. However, this would depend upon the improvement of his health condition. In September, DSWD Secretary Corazon De Leon contacted Chosen Children to refer the child for continuous case management.

Harold was referred to Chosen Children for proper case management where he was admitted on September16, 1992. Upon admission, Harold weighed 6 kilograms and measured 30 inches in height with a head circumference of 18 inches.
