20 YEARS OLD, AND I HAVE SLEPT WITH 100 MEN

‘Hello, Sir. Good afternoon. Sorry to stop you like that, but I am just asking, please if you could help me make up to get some things for my practical?’ He gave me his number and $500 at the time. He kept calling until it reach the point where he was doing the same thing the vice-principal did,” she said.

NOWHERE TO LAY HER HEAD

With tears in her eyes, Miller recounted the many times, she had to be going from place to place asking people to allow her to spend the night in their homes because she had nowhere to lay her head.

She explained that she was living with her grandmother until the latter part of 2015, when they had to leave the house they were living in because they were not able to pay the rent. Her grandmother found shelter at her daughter’s house, but when Miller went to her father to find support, she found grief. She said that she thought about staying with her mother, but after what she had encountered before she did not go there.

“Being around my mom, it wasn’t well because she was always saying that she doesn’t like my father and she was raped when she got me. It kinda get to me. My mother always tell me to leave her house, and one day I just got up and left. After that I had to be going from one house to another asking persons to let me stay the night,” she said.

After her many attempts to get help from people who took advantage of her in her time of need, Miller said she is simply frustrated. She said that she is trying to change her life.

“I would like to get something. I have a skill, yes, housekeeping. But I wish I could get something better as I am willing to learn something to help me better myself,” she said.
