My name is Kamilly, I am 13 years old. I have two siblings. My family is very poor. We do not have our own house. My parents separated and my mother has to work as a saleslady. I used to wake up early to my mother set everything for the day. I do all the housework before going to school. Money is scarce at home. We could have a simple rice and beans and this is enough for us. Last year my aunt passed away due to Covid-19 and left behind her two children. I took care of them while my uncle is at work. At an early age, I became a housekeeper and a baby sitter to my siblings and cousins. Last year, I got the chance to take the exam for the Sisters of Mary Girlstown and I passed. Here at school, I so blessed with many opportunities. I am learning every day. I study, I pray and I play. I love English as my favorite subject. I want to be a doctor someday and thanks to the help of our generous friends, I am sure I will reach my dreams. A heartfelt gratitude to your goodness. I always remember you in my daily prayers.
