Biography

Lilian is a bright, sweet, loving young girl who lives with her mother, who faces significant challenges in raising her and paying for her school fees since her father tragically passed away in a road accident. As a result, Lilian's mother is in a difficult situation. She has two siblings to care for, and their mother struggles to provide for them due to the lack of a stable income. Currently, they live in a rented house as they do not have a permanent home. Lilian, now in Grade 7 at a local Primary School, is determined to do her best in life so that she can support her family and contribute to her community with her God-given talents. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
