"Being neglected by my husband at a early stage of our marriage is the biggest hardship I have faced in life. Raising 8 children by myself was a huge challenge because I didn't have stable source of income. I resorted to casual jobs to be able to fend for my children and support them with their education. I am glad God has been merciful with us. "
