About Me: 

There are days when I watch my mother leave for work before the sun is even fully awake. She goes out for daily labor to support us, and I stay with my grandmother in her village. This is where we came after leaving my father, because he was not caring for us and life at home became too difficult. My grandmother’s home is simple, but it is a place where we are safer. 

School has become one of the places I love to go. I enjoy reading and I love to play. I want to become a police officer so I can protect people who feel scared or alone. 

Staying focused isn't always easy. My mother works very hard, yet there are many things needed for my education that we cannot always manage. Uniforms, books, and other school supplies are difficult for us to afford, and sometimes I worry about falling behind.

Support from someone who understands what I am trying to reach for would mean more than I can say. It would make sure I have enough food to stay strong, a safe place to live, care when I am not well, and the chance to keep learning. It would help me stay brave and keep moving toward the future I want.
