My husband passed away three years ago. Since then, it's been just me and my three children — holding on to life together. I clean houses for a living. It isn't easy, but I try to stay strong for them.

We are looking forward to tomorrow. Because tomorrow, like last year, we will receive our share of the sacrifice meat. The house turns into something like a celebration. My daughter Sofia said she'll wake up early and help me. We're going to cook a proper meal together.
