I. MY FAMILY:

There are 5 members in my family and we are living in a makeshift house made of corrugated iron. My father is a mason but he got liver cancer last year, so his health has become weaker and he can not go to work regularly. My mother, who earns a living by selling noodles in the mornings, suddenly becomes the main labour in the family and has to struggle a lot for my father’s treatment's fees, and the study fees of my brother and me. She also has to take care of my youngest brother, who was born in 2020 and he needs a lot of nutrition. All things are so hard and heavy for my mother to handle and she cannot hold on any longer.

II. MY STUDY:

I am in grade 7. My brother is a 1st grader. We are both active boys and love to go to school. With my family’s difficult situation now, we might have to drop out of school soon. I wish for your help so that my brothers and I can have a chance to complete our studies. I’m very grateful!
