After being orphaned as a young child, I have learned what is like to live without the love and support most of us can count on.
''I have had to fight every hardship of life alone,'' I says.
Am from the western part of kenya, a rural and remote part of east Africa near the shores of Lake Victoria on the equator.
''I was born into a poor family, and I soon lost both parents. I was left in the care of my grandmother who lived in a half fallen down house. From the age of eight I involved myself in small business to get our daily bread and to pay for my own school fees.''
''After getting my primary school certificate, I applied for a scholarship with the Canadian Harambee Education Society, whose support allowed me to continue studying through high school. After passing high school, the Canadian based Cedar Foundation came to my aid and I studied for one diploma in Public Relations and another diploma in Hospitality Management.''
'' It was a lot of hard work but I learned that I could succeed if I was only given the chance!''
After graduating from college, Violet was left to face the realty of surviving alone -- but after some difficult times in Nairobi, finally got a sales job, thanks to my excellent school marks and natural talent for hard work and perseverance.
''At this time, I fulfilled my dream of having a beautiful baby girl, but for some reason I suffered from post natal depression.''
As a result of being hospitalized after giving birth, I not only lost her job in July 2013 and was discharged from hospital with a debt of 200,000 Kenyan shillings to pay (about $2,200 USD).
''I hope my Fundrazr campaign can help me pay off this debt and assist me to obtain a degree and a driver's license, both requirements for me to move ahead in life for myself and my young baby.''
''Please please help me. Thanks in advance.''
Kind Regards,
Violet Auma,
