Bio

My husband and I got married in January 2013. Between us we have four children between 19 and 23 years old. Hubby was recently diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma after a huge tumor was removed from his brain. I am the breadwinner in the family as hubby was retrenched last year. Unemployment rates and BBBEE made job hunting very frustrating.
