Holding On Through Hardship: Miriam’s Family Journey

Miriam’s parents once ran a stable business. But over time, sales dropped and the bills kept rising. Mr Christian still woke up early each day to save their shop.

She heard soft talk of school fees, bills and worries. Some nights Mrs Joy cried—not from weakness, but from pure exhaustion.

Miriam held on to that hope and stayed focused on her studies.
