Temuleen

My mother abandoned me when I was very young and since then I live with my grandparents. They are retired and receive a pension of $68 a month. My 38-year-old uncle is very ill and my 42-year-old aunt sews gloves and sheets, which she then sells at the market, but only earns $1.30 a day. At home, there was violence because of my uncle.

My grandmother wanted me to leave to protect myself from this environment, but coinciding with my father’s release from prison, and with the help they provided us, together we built a new house, it was great teamwork! I am delighted to live in it and be with my father again.
