I spent six months with TB without knowing what it was. When it was at its worst, I had a very high fever, difficulties moving my legs, and I lost weight. I was living with my aunt’s family; they didn’t believe it was TB. One day my big brother came to pick me up from my aunt’s house and took me to the hospital. From that day, I started taking medication and I got better quickly. I’m doing well now.

If I hadn’t been ill, I would have got my business diploma this year. Now, I can’t wait to finish the treatment, get married, and start school again, so I can open my own shop.
