"Since 2015, my husband has been ill. Accordingly, we have sold much of our property to raise funds for settling hospital bills. We have visited varied hospitals and healthcenters including Chelima, Kisyaroni and Sigor. More over, life has become more challenging because I am currently the primary breadwinner for my family - it is indeed overwhelming to seek school fees, medication funds and household needs without the support of my ailing husband."
