My family and our friends came together and made sure my mom and me and my siblings had at least 1 new sweat suit and 1 new pair of shoes the very next day. I am fortunate enough to be in a better situation than back then. And I pray I can have as much grace as my mother did during that time. I work very hard for my family. I pray that you all stay safe God Bless,” Aiko continued.
