My names are REUBEN WILLIAM MOLELI I am from Iliboru, I was born in 1967
previous I was doing construction work but nowadays I am no longer working.
It was in 2007 when I was organizing materials for bricks
processing, I climbed the tree so as to get some firewood, in a bad lack the
tree got twisted and made me fall down. From that day I couldn’t stand with my
feet again. I was admitted at the hospital for some time and later brought back
home, from that moment I started working using crutches. I got a spinal code injury which leads my body to paralyze, I couldn’t
move my legs or feel any pain at that moment. Doctors told me that this
situation might take time for me to back in normal situation. I thank God at
this moment I can move with crutches though I still feel pain.
Being in this situation I am experiencing lot of
challenges, I can’t afford to support my children in their educations and other
needs. I have five children both studying in different levels this makes them
to depend only on their mother who have to provide everything; this is very
difficult as you know education is very expensive. I feel pain to see my wife
is the only one who is providing while I used to work with my strength before
facing this situation.
I real thank my wife because she does not discriminate me
in any ways and she keeps doing everything as normal.
Up to this time I have not reached my dreams. It was my
wishes to see my children are studying to higher level of education. I wanted
to see my children becoming leaders and managing their lives. I haven’t gave up
my dreams because I believe if God will help my wife to get some money, still
my children will get education as I wanted. The problem is that it is very
difficult for one person to fulfill all family needs. If I could have managed
to construct two house of my own for renting business it could help us better.
The only house I have is this one, and life is very taught.
I have no any plans for reaching my dreams because I
can’t work. The only thing I can do is to watch and guide my children when
doing domestic activities and farming.
I am facing few family challenges because when you wake
up you have to know that children wants to go to school as well as getting
something to eat. They are all depending on one person! It is very difficult
but I am thankful to God because he is always on my side.
My advice to the government and the community in general
is that they have to provide education to PWD’s and create an environment that
will enable them to be product in the society.
