About

Erick is the fourth born in a family of seven. His father is deceased, leaving his mother as the sole breadwinner. She sells vegetables and washes people's clothes in nearby wealthy neighbourhoods to make ends meet. Her income is unstable. Mostly, Erick's mother depends on well-wishers to support her five children in school, two in high school and another three in primary school.
