Sophia Koji, a 31-year-old Ghanaian lady, has revealed that she had gotten herself in a lot of hardship after wrongfully thinking that men would take care of her.

According to a narration by the lady on Crimecheckfoundation.org, she had four children with different men but for some reason, all of them abandoned her instead of assisting to take care of her kids.

Sophia explained that she has had to resort to living in a kiosk with all her children and starve for many days as she is unable to establish a good income flow for herself.

"We have been starving because the day I do not make enough sales to meet my target for the day, I give my savings to my master. Most of my items are finished but I won’t be given any if I don’t make previous payment."

Compounding her woes, Koji who hawks for survival said her landlord of the wooden kiosk she lives in with her children has been hostile towards her because she refused his proposal to have an amorous relationship with him.

Before concluding the session with Koji, the Crime Check Foundation was able to give the young mother money to assist her to take care of the children. It is hoped that the public will donate more to the foundation so the woes of the 31-year-old mother will be brought to a permanent end.
