Biography
Cecilia's father passed away from cancer several years ago, leaving her mother, who is currently unwell, to care for Cecilia and her four siblings. Because her mom is not able to care for them, the children are now under the care of their grandmother. This has made life very challenging for the family, complicating Cecilia's educational journey. Now in grade 9 at a local Primary School, Cecilia desires to rise above her circumstances. With your generous support, she can pursue her dreams and build a brighter future not only for herself but also for those who follow in her footsteps. Would you consider standing by her side?
