He was not born like this, he says.

It all started when he developed some scars from nowhere.

He went to the hospital to have a surgery and he was operated.

He was hoping the best, but this did not go his way.

After the operation he was told to buy some medicine, but he was left with no money and he never bought those medicine.

Scars kept swelling, hence covering many parts of the body, from the chin, the abdomen, the back and the lower part of the body, while we cannot see.

It’s not only covering the man’s whole body, but these tumor-like stuffs are also painful and makes it pretty weak that it’s very difficult for him to do anything because he has a wife and children- they’re eight in total

And he has to feed them all.

He has to fit eight mouth daily and this sickness is making him fail to provide for his family.

He says he doesn’t understand why something like this can happen to someone who was born normal, without any health problem.

He found himself having this skin abnormality.

He says if he had enough money he would have taken medicine after the surgery and he would be by now be fine.

The prayer says that he’s thankful that God gave him a beautiful and caring wife.

Ever since he suffered from this skin condition, the wife is the one who goes out looking for any job opportunity and feed the whole family.

She says she will do everything for the husband to feel better, but now they’re all afraid of this skin condition since their son also started suffering from this condition.

The worried wondering whether the skin abnormality will go on affecting even other children.

Since the wife is the only one who works and the only source of income, the man says it’s a big burden and a hard task, of course, because she earns a little by cultivating and that is the only job opportunity available in the village.

This makes the life miserable and difficult.

Most times these eight members of the family have to sleep hungry and wake up with no hope of getting food the next day.

The man says there are some things they no longer think about, like clothes and other necessary things.

He says right now the situation is worse.

If they get what we eat, that is enough.

Next is to worry about what they would depend on for the next day.

They at least happy for one thing: education, free schools for their children.

But though they don’t pay their children’s school fees.

They still can’t afford children’s school materials like uniform, books, bags, mathematical sights and etc.

 

Sometimes children go to school without uniforms because affording those uniforms and other school materials is something almost impossible to this family.

However, says he does not like going in a gathering of many people because they take a lot of time staring at him and some people can’t respect the 42 year old and they troll and bully the man.

Since he’s not someone who likes to say a lot, he chooses to let them say whatever they want and just stay at home so as to protect himself from such people.

Foreign Francine is the wife discipline, she says.

When the husband went to the hospital she thought that was going to be fixed, but she was lying to herself because it got even worse.

It turned out to be not what they expected, but she has been brave and brilliant.

She has been there for the husband and the whole family at large, but she’s struggling to make sure she covers all what they need, though it’s not that simple due to the way everything is on her shoulders.

 

She says she is losing heart.

She’s seeing no future.

She’s getting worried.

She’s afraid that the worst is yet to happen, but says she trusts in the Lord and knows that someday something will happen and will change their life forever.

Francine was also sick a couple of months ago but says God could not let her get ill as they all could start perishing from one to the other.

She knows that if the sickness was serious enough, then that would be the end of the eight members of this family due to the weather- all depend on her- but says she’s thankful that God did not allow that to happen.

During those days she felt there was something wrong in the body and went to the hospital for checkup, but she tested negative and had to even try some traditional medicine, but still no sickness detected.

he says the whole family is already struggling, starting from all children who are all suffering from different diseases.

She is worried and afraid that the family will soon perish.

This boy is the firstborn.

He always helped the family and cooperated with the mother to provide for the family, but since being affected by this illness is also becoming weak day in and day out that he no longer helps.

The mother says these cars keep growing big and big.

She does not know if this might be hereditary.

She says that the only solution would be having enough money and the whole family would be taken to hospitals for checkup and even treatment.

Avensa is the firstborn, he says.

These wounds on the cheek turn into scars, and scars turn into what looks like tumors and got, affecting the whole body.

He confirms what the mother said, that he joined hands with her in raising these younger siblings, but ever since having this deformity is becoming weak and weaker, that contributed to stop working.

A vincent was in school.

He was in primary five.

After seeing the father could no longer provide and the mother was struggling to raise the family.

He could see that life was getting worse and then decided to drop out of school, since the provision of school materials was a bigger problem.

He did this in a way of helping the family and avoiding that younger siblings could be affected by this.

So he cooperated with the moma and let other siblings continue their studies.

He did this and was even earning a little money that helped at home, but time came and he started feeling weak, then stopped.

 

As they all say, the root cause of all their problems is lack of money for treatment, and if there was treatment they believed they’d be treated and then life would come to normal.

They say that, of course, at first they never had everything, but at least they were able to work for the family and he was going to school.

But since having this sickness, everything was messed up.

Everything went wrong and now their life is at stake.

They have fears of tomorrow.
