I’m the first daughter, and I have two younger siblings. My parents are not on good terms, so our household is on shaky ground. I’ve always known things were tough. I finished from uni this year, but while I was there, I had a very small business that didn’t fetch me much. Now I’m back to my father’s house. I quit, but I’m saving up to learn a skill. This morning, my dad gave me some money to go to the market, and when I looked at it, I knew it wasn’t going to be enough. So, I told him. He said that was what he had, that I should manage, and then he started to explain things to me. Men are so good at covering things up, you wouldn’t even know that they are struggling. My mum doesn’t make enough, and my dad is retired. Long story short,
my family is bordering on the line between stability and poverty, and if this country doesn’t get better, we’re finished. My siblings are still in school, but they have applied for a government loan, and their fees have been paid. I feel so helpless. I thought I would have more time to save up and start something to support, but now it’s as if time is just moving faster. I’ve been brought to tears, and I have prayed this morning. When will it ever get better? When will this end? This is about to be the saddest Christmas I have ever experienced. Please, if there is anyone here who can teach me a tech skill or anything at all that can fetch me money, I don’t have much right now, but I would be really appreciative of that. Thank you. 🙏🏿
