About Nancy comes from a family that faces significant financial hardships, often struggling to afford basic necessities such as food. These challenges extend to her educational pursuits, causing her considerable stress and worry. At school, Nancy is frequently preoccupied with thoughts about her family's situation. The pressure intensified when her principal announced that students with outstanding school fees would be sent home at the beginning of the next term. Nancy was deeply affected, knowing that she was among those who had not cleared their fees. Both of Nancy's parents are unemployed and rely on irregular casual jobs to make ends meet. Their limited income is insufficient to cover all of Nancy's educational expenses. Despite these adversities, Nancy and her family remain hopeful and place their trust in God. Nancy aspires to become a nurse and earnestly prays for a sponsor who can support her education and help her achieve her dreams.
