About Lucy is the first born in her family. She lives with her mother and her two younger sisters in a single room rented house. Her mother is the sole provider for her family and she relies on casual jobs for income. The money she earns from her job is too little as she is not able to provide all the basic needs to her three daughters. She struggles to pay school fees for Lucy who is in boarding school and her other two daughters who are in primary school. With all the challenges she faces of lack of enough school fees, Lucy works hard in school so that she may get good grades and be of help in future to her mother and her sisters. In future she would like to be a journalist.
