Hello everyone,
I goes by the name Derrick Boateng, I'm from Ghana, my mum died when I was 7 years old and my dad run away from his responsibilities leaving me and my little brother in the village I struggle hard to get to the city to further my education...

Now I can say that I had never understood others suffering from a bad loss of a dear person. I would hate to hear that anybody died. When this happened to me, when my dear mother died, I started to understand all those people who lost someone they loved. There are perhaps no proper words to describe this pain, This intolerable pain which tears you apart, which is like a stone on your heart, and which make tears run down your face with each moment spent with the dear person who passed away. Time is unlikely to pass so fast this hurt, no matter what others claim.
Every morning I still wake up thinking that she is there drinking her tea in her room , watching tv. Then suddenly the truth comes rushing up to me and I realize that it is just a dream hanging around me still, and a cold despair fall upon me. I feel empty inside. My mother’s death was a really sobering experience I’ve passed through. It was the most devastating loss in my life.

In this life  we all need someone to support us even if we have nobody. God have been taken care of me since my mum died. I hustle hard to complete senior high School.. I've never been travelling outside the world and I would love to experience and get more knowledge about the outside world..

Your little help can lift me up to my desire, grateful to join this platform. Show mercy to the needy...
