A Girl on a very Lonely and Rough path



Trying to Stay Strong

My name is IKEDE FAITH ELOHO

I am from Nigeria, a 22year old student of Federal university of agriculture Abeokuta Ogun state in Nigeria. I am the first child of three kids with a single parent( my dad).

My father is a forklift operator and it's not very easy for him to raise us alone. I have tried to look for many ways to support him in finances and all but I just keep failing, I have a baking business that's not functioning now because of capital but I have been advise mainly by people around me to go into Dating and sleeping with rich men so they can give me money so I can support my family that way but I don't listen to them. And it's very very hard for me especially now sometimes I would want to consider it but just don't. I have a lot of debts and school billings on my neck, I have been thinking of dropping out but I still keep looking fr a way out of this financial struggle. I have tried and tried to find something lucrative online to work with but it's all scam and fake.... I am tired and just wanted to pour out this frustration.

I need help even if it's being an assistant online or virtual assistant just anything I can do to get paid. I have just few days to pay up school bills and house rent.

I just want to be an independent girl who works and earns to take care of her family is that too much to ask?

Please look in the way of this Struggling girl and I hope her story touches your heart to want to help.

And I hope every girl fighting to get by without getting intimidated finds themselves in better places soon.
