"My biggest hardship has been paying for medical care for my two children who have health problems. One has an epilepsy problem and the other has a recurrent insufficient blood problem which requires transfusion or admission frequently. Since the hospitals which provide better medical care are private clinics, I just try the best I can to take care of them at home."
