They also have a small plot of land, but it’s not enough to meet their food needs. The parents only earn a living by working as laborers for others. Blessing excels in school, but her parents struggle to afford her school fees, meals, and other educational expenses. Her father has mentioned that it’s a challenge for them to even send all their children to school.
