She had to run away in the night and the father promised that he would kill her, from that time Winnie has been not living with her father and he was imprisoned.

Winnie says from the time her mother died no one has helped her to pay school fees and she sees herself and her siblings as a burden to their uncle, most of the time she finds herself lacking most of the personal requirements and it’s only few times her uncle gives her support. Winnie’s uncle is a welder and he has got many family members to take care of.

Winnie’s dream is to become a nurse and she wants to pay school fees for orphans. She does not want to see children suffer because she has gone through it and she knows what it means.
