Nine-year-old Konah is in the Kindergarten-1 and is a determined and compassionate girl who dreams of becoming a nurse when she grows up. She lives with her mother, father, and four siblings. Life has been challenging for her family ever since her father suffered a tragic injury while working on their farm. Several years ago, he stepped on a thorn that pierced his skin, and soon after, he became paralyzed and has been unable to walk. With her father unable to work, it has been difficult for the family to make ends meet. Despite these hardships, Konah remains focused on her education and her dream of one day helping others as a nurse. Her kindness and resilience shine through as she works hard in school, knowing that education is her pathway to a brighter future. Sponsored by: Amy O’Brien
