Lucid spent the heart of her life facing a lot of life challenges and difficulties.
It got worse that she thought of committing suicide.
Wait, this mother has five children, and both children have different fathers, and one of those children has two fathers, and this single mother lives with all her five children in this smallest house.
Comes that, among others, men whom they produce, or these children?
None of them live here, though they at least support her.
We are in Kenya.
Our journalists heads toward Lucy’s neighborhood and she tells us more of what she went through up to this present day.
Foreign.
I was born here.
I was so unfortunate that my mother died when I was very young.
I had only five years, and she died while producing my younger sister.
It was a tragedy that they both did not make, it being the reason I was born alone, without any other siblings, for five years.
Being an orphan at a young age means that her life was difficult.
Since young, and after the death of her mother, she went to live with her aunt.
Foreign took me to Nakuru, where she lived and her little kid.
But life there was difficult because we faced hunger problems where we could go to school hungry and return hungry and what made it worse is that our Aunt could go have fun and watch movies, leaving us starving.
At some point there was food in the house and she could warn us not to touch anything, and on our return she could start beating us for no reason, and I have a lot of scars, and her only child could not endure this longer but later went away from home out of the blue.
But I said I should say here, and that’s how I stayed.
Lucy persevered and lived with the aunt, who mistreated her daily, until when the ant promised to harshly beat her and she remained scared and ended up escaping.
One day I was coming from school and I delayed due to traffic jam.
She was going to the market and said she beat me.
When she comes back home, I entered the house, put on some clothes on top of the uniform, then took the 1000 note Kenyan Shilling that I saw in the house and then got.
Akata took me from Nakuru to Naivasha.
El Lucio escaped problems, found herself stranded in other complicated life problems.
She started taking drugs and she was homeless and could sleep on streets.
I then met an old woman who lived on the street and we lived a bad life where we had nowhere to sleep and we could wait for shops to close and then sleep when everyone had gone home.
It was really terrible and we were never safe.
We could run every time soldiers passed by.
It was a dangerous way of life and could sleep some boys who will share drugs and ended up sleeping with them.
And that’s how I found myself pregnant and produced my firstborn, and I never knew who the father was if I came, a boy who said he wanted to protect me against anyone thought that I would not sleep with anyone, but you can understand who could sleep together.
And that’s how I got a second pregnancy.
