Story

Mary Jean from Cameroon 27years oldi.  I grow up in the southwest region of Cameroon with my mum and siblings. We are 7 of us and I happen to be the second child. Life has been very difficult for us since childhood but became even worst due to the Anglo – phone crisis or war between the English part of Cameroon and French Cameroon since 2017 till now.We had to leave the small town we growup for the city of douala because of this. Ever since then life became even more difficult because we even had to move to a one room all 7 of us. Presently now my mum can not work due to the fact that she is sick. She happens to have liver problem since last year. I and my brothers have been the one struggling to put food on the table and take care of our junior once. And things have not been easy especially since we had to owe friends and colleagues who help us when our mother was sick. We had to borrow money here and there for the bills to be paid and other expenses. And as of now we are also owing our landlady a very huge sum, she has promised to send us out of her house because aquimilated rents. But then again how can we pay the rent when we don’t even have money to settle all the debt yet. We are still owing so many people and the small salaries we earn cannot even feed us for complete 1 full month.
