Gumoshabe Mackline (ID# 400)

Macklin’s mother abandoned the children to their aging helpless grandmother who has been helping them since 2013 when their father died. Her grandmother struggles from a stroke and can barely see to do any productive work at home, hence the children have to do a lot. The family is in a sorry state to the extent of not having beddings to sleep on.

Macklin is a hard-working girl, but due to the state of the family, she at times misses classes. She says that her dream is to become a teacher. They have a challenge of not having enough food at home and so she sometimes goes without anything to eat.
