I started my fairy tale when I was just 5 YEARS old, i lost my dad. I never grow up to know who he was or who ever my fatherwas...

My mother had to riase me all alone? i was the only child of the family too anyway. I lost my mother 2 years ago she had luekemia and doctors can't help too...

After my mother's death i stay indoor and i was too puny and weak all days and that makes me sick for long period of time and after my illness. Then after i was when fit back, i mean after my illness met a Guy called John,He was an african and he promise, When i told him about my recent broken heart. He promise to make me happy.

So i started living with him when i have no father nor mother that i can stay with let alone of any family member, I was with him for over Eight Weeks...

One day he asked if i would come over to africa to see his parents and we can get engaged so i can be happy after all the sorrows i had I agreed to go on the trip to africa with him. I saved enough to keep us confortable while we were away o.k. i had about $5,260 with me We both get to the country...
