Catherine age 6

Catherine's mom died when she was only 4 years old after struggling with poverty.  Her father, who was jobless, played both mom and dad.  Catherine's health started to go down hill and she was being admitted to the hospital regularly.  Her oldest sister, who was in Form 2 (grade 11) had to drop out of school to stay at the hospital with her while the father was out looking for work.  Most of the nights the family slept with out eating because the cost of the medication for Catherine was just too high.  The 2 older siblings had to drop out of school at the young ages of 18 and 15, fending for themselves, their ailing father and younger sister.

Catherine came to Toto Love in April of 2009 and will turn 8 in March of 2010.  She will start class 1(grade 1) in January.  Catherine is full of life and has a lot of potential to succeed in life.
