Mary
enrolled.
"My husband passed away long time ago leaving me with five kids to cater for yet I was jobless. This led to two of them dropping out of school due to my inability to pay for their school fees and now it pains me to see them struggling in life as we speak. Moreover, some of the younger ones never saw their father and they keep on asking me about him and I still have no definite answer to give them which clearly shows they are missing their fatherly love. For me this is the biggest hardship I have ever experienced in my life. "
