My name is Emmah Makori from Kisii, Kenya, East Africa, near Lake Victoria. I am 27 years old, and the oldest of 8 children in my family. I have been studying to become a Nurse, so I can help provide for my 7 younger brothers and sisters.

My Father passed away in 2014, while I was still in College studying for my Certificate to become a Nurse. We are a poor family, and with my Father dying that meant we were in a much worse financial position, but much worse was to come. After our Father's burial, his brothers chased us from our home and took over our small farming lot. We took legal action against them, but we lost the case because they bribed officials in the case.

We were forced to live in the small rough house of our Grandmother from my Mother's side, all 9 of us, as well as our Grandmother. Her land is too small for us to survive, and it is hard to cultivate and produce enough for us to eat. Sometimes we go without food. My Grandmother is quite old, and when she dies we won't have a place to live in again.

I need some financial help to complete my Nurse Diploma training, so I can get a job as a Nurse, and work extra hard for my whole family, as I am the eldest, and in our culture that means I am the one to provide for my much younger siblings, who are still only children.

Be with me on this journey for me to help my young family. I have been thrust into this role, and it is my responsibility to provide for my siblings. They depend on me, but I need to depend on you to help me provide for them, care for them, and love them. This is a journey that I need to share with you, and we will be eternally grateful in Jesus Christ's name.

Amen.
