Her parents passed away when she was quite young. She is the eldest among 6 sisters and 1 brother. She didn’t have anyone to support her. They were not in a good place back then but they don’t regret any of it at all. It is difficult to make ends meet when you don’t have parents watching over you. She used to be a different person then and she is a different person now. She is stronger now. She doesn’t need anyone to support them. She has enough confidence and willpower to help and support her siblings. After her parents’ death, where most people give up, she decided to turn things around for her family and she took full responsibility of her siblings. She educated her sisters and brother the way her parents would have wanted. Her two sisters are studying at LUMHS Jamshoro, one in Mehran University and the other two sisters are studying in Sindh. The ones younger to them are still in College. Life has become easier for her family.
