Dear Kenyans,
those of who have lived abroad know how tough life can be.
I will make my story short: I initially came to Germany as an Au Pair,was raped by my Au Pair dad who was a pastor.The institution responsible for Au Pairs got so angry at me for accusing a pastor of rape and I was thrown out.That was 1996.
I have 5 sisters and 1 brother,a mother who really hated me,to this year.Everything I had to acquire for my Au Pair time I did on my own without any support & the money,ticket,passport I had received from the family were withheld by my mom so that I had to see where to get a new ticket from.My mom has 2 houses on a compound and I had to clean both of them,go to German courses after that and run back home to cook before she came.No,it is not my step mom! She used to beat me the extent that my fingers were damaged to date,the reason I decided to leave.I passed my KCSE with an B,though she said I was too stupid.
Long story... when I came she asked me to send money immediately and I used to send all I received.When I had nothing (after being thrown out),the WHOLE FAMILY broke up with me.After my Au Pair period I was illegal,was deported and had met a citizen who helped me back.Together we have a daughter.When I was illegal my family rally tried to track me (so the embassy),to the extent of deportation.I returned,as mentioned,legally.
As from last year (God is my witness) I sent money home monthly,punctually on the first.I love my sisters and brother,who are all very succesful engineers and doctors now,2 of my sisters moved to the States.When I called my dad to ask how he was he said he needed money.I HAD BEEN SENDING MONEY no matter how ill I was.MY OWN SISTER said I was lying!!!! I had been sending the money to her,even made all inquiries about the best rates,companies and even told her the exact addresses where she should pick it up!!!!! She wrote an sms saying that I had never been there and should disappear again for all she cares! She blocked me and my daughter facebook.My daughter just turned 12!!!!! These are my blood sisters!
I am a single mom of a daughter and just applied for the green card lottery (DV 2015).I know this is not the right section for my problems.The problem is I only hope to be taken,if we are selected.My sisters definitely WON'T sign an affidavit of support and my bank statement is very poor.We have to leave due to racism in Germany.Alone an African name disqualifies one for the simplest jobs here.Please PLEASE pray for us for all to go well.I tell my daughter DAILY that she should never be alone with her problems,she has to bring them home,no matter what it is and where in the world she will be.Dear Kenyans,I have come to learn that sometimes you find a family out of the family.
I don't know why I'm posting this but,maybe,just maybe God will give me an answer....
