Elvis’s parents separated four years ago and before their separation he was not supporting them at all. Elvis is being supported by her mother in terms of personal requirements and of which sometimes she fails to provide because she has many children. Elvis also says most times he finds himself lacking personal requirements. He is challenged at home whereby sometimes they sleep minus eating anything. Elvis continues and says that he lacks parental love most especially from the father who does not live with them and sometimes Elvis asks himself why he was born and these thoughts always come when he does not have anyone to help him.

During the holiday he sometimes goes back to school with his twin brother to do some work at school in order to support themselves and at times this work is too heavy for him.
