Amy’s Story

Amy’s dad died when she was very young, leaving her mum to raise her and her two siblings. She spent lots of time with her grandparents, who instilled a great respect for the church and education. Then, at 16, she fell in love and became pregnant. In her story, Amy admits she felt like a failure. But even after hard study, a graduation, gaining a great job, and having had three beautiful children, Amy says she still felt like something was missing – but all that changed after she had a dream.
