Ruth Kato

I am Ruth Kato, age 22 and a single mother now residing in Totota, Lower Bong County, Liberia I am a mother of one child (boy) whose father deserted me with two months pregnancy after he was told about it. With the fear of being pursue by my guidance, he left town overnight and have not been seen him since then. I had to leave school with the anger of my guidance to take care of my pregnancy and by God’s grace I gave birth on November 11, 2012 to my son (Jensen Mulbah). Finding food for me and the child was not an easy thing to do in that early age. With the help of my guidance and other God sent I made it with the breast feeding and decided to return to school to complete my secondary education. I am presently in the 12th grade at the same time sending my son to the nursery school for his future education. Unfortunately, since three years ago my guidance has stop assisting me, thus making it very challenging for us. As a single mother in this rural area, it has not easy looking for food while looking for tuitions for me and my son. This year I had to sell some of my African Lappas for him to continue his nursery class while I am appealing to other relatives for my own tuition and national examinations fees. Truly, I am managing life with me and my son. With God above, I believe someone reading this story will be moved to come to our aid. Many thanks and God bless.
