The father who was the only family breadwinner died leaving the mother with the children to feed and take to school.

The mother sometimes end up selling her body in exchange of money in order to feed the children. Five people live in a one room rental mud house. They use charcoal for cooking, kerosene for lighting and they gets water from a river. Velma is doing well health wise at present.
