"I always come across words like "It takes a village to raise a child" but on my side, it took a widow to raise me. I was 10 when I started staying with this woman who turned out to be my mom. I don't know how it happened but yes it happened.
"She adopted me and stayed with me, took care of my needs, sent me to school and blessed me with motherly love and siblings. I am now 21 but still, she continues to support me... I have a place called home because of her.
"I have siblings because of her. People like Lindy Kgomotso Mogane are the reason why #IAmStaying and I love her more than anything on this planet."
