Already my finances were strained, and the arrival of another blessing, to me at the time, meant that times are going to be more difficult. The father worked in another town, and as we were making our birth plan I was the custodian for the hospital bill just in cas ..read more

I have worked with the youth before, and given that I fall unde ..read more

When your neighbors are having conversations, you could hear them only you could not make out all the words that they were saying. So we found ourselves livin ..read more
