Elizabeth is nineteen years old and should be giving birth to her first baby anyday now. Elizabeth was married, but her husband had been treating her poorly so she left him and is now on her own.
Elizabeth's brother passed away and his wife left so she's been taking care of his three children, ages 10, 8, and 4, ever since.
She is from the Karamajong tribe and has been living in Namatala since the age of nine. As a little girl, Elizabeth always dreamed of becoming a doctor, but due to the poor circumstances in Namatala her dream slowly disappeared. Before IChooseYou became a part of her life, she was doing anything she could to find work and was hired by day for random jobs around her area.
Elizabeth became a believer in 2007 and began attending Mbale Presbyterian Church in 2008. She is so grateful for God's provision in her life and her three children. Ever since she has been taking care of her brother's children, they have never been terribly sick and have always had food provided for them. Although none of her children are a part of IChooseYou, she is still able to make a difference in their lives by using the gifts and talents God has given to her to make beads and door mats.
Please pray that Elizabeth would deliver a beautiful and healthy baby. Pray that everything would go smoothly during delivery, and that she would be able to faithfully and lovingly take care of this baby, as well as her other three children.
