Faustina Nti Kyeremah explained that she had the children with two husbands, both of whom have passed away, leaving her fully responsible for their care.
She shared that her daily income is barely enough to provide for basic needs such as food and education.
Despite the challenges, she continues to care for her children while hoping for community support to ease her burden.
Mother describes overwhelming daily responsibilities
In an interview with the YouTube channel Crime Check released on December 16, 2025, Faustina explained that she survives by selling porridge, but her income is insufficient to meet her children’s basic needs, including food and education.
She added that one of her sons, who has completed Junior High School, received admission into Accra Academy, but she is unable to afford transportation for him to and from school, even though tuition is free.
Faustina described her life as a daily struggle to make ends meet and made a heartfelt appeal to the public:
"Please, I need your help to take care of the children. Looking after them is not easy. When they are going to school, I sometimes can’t afford their transport."
"I am begging for your help. If you help me, you help the kids," she added.
