Hello Steemit From Lucy Fulele - This is My Short Story - Life in a Squatter Camp
Hello Steemit
My name is Lucy Fulele I am 43 years old and I live in a squatter camp in South Africa, I am a single mom and I have 3 children, bellow you can see a photo of my home .
I do not have running water in my home only a shared community faucet that supports around 100 residents also I do not have electrical power, I cook on a small gas stove and I use candles at night, I work as a maid and get a salary of R1000 per month which is about $70 a month.
I am proud of my home which I built myself, Its made from scrap roofing panels on the sides and my roof is made with plastic sheeting which leaks when it rains except for one corner of my home that is dry where I can huddle with my kids.
I love my kids dearly, they are everything to me and I love God who has given them to me and is always with me, I hope you enjoyed my short story, Afristeem has asked me to write them a few stories about my life which I will do.
God Bless
Lucy

thank you @dmacshady if we can help her with a new roof and some food I think it will already make a positive impact on her life, God bless
Yes for sure bro and I believe that a roof over your head, clothes on the back of her and her children, and plenty of food in the kitchen. :)

The firm, the enduring, the simple, and the modest are near to virtue.
