Ivy is a 19 year old girl who comes from a small family consisting of a single mother and one sister. She has never known her father. Her mother has struggled to keep her girls fed and sheltered by washing clothes. Often Ivy and her sister went to bed hungry. She has also had difficulty paying the rent, so the family is constantly moving from place to place. Now her mother is very ill and unable to work. Ivy’s mother knows the importance of an education and has managed to get both of her girls through secondary school with well wishers and scholarships. Despite all of their struggles, both girls have done very well in school. Ivy has been accepted to a post-secondary school and is pursuing a Bachelor of Economics and Statistics. She dreams of being able to support herself and her mother.
