His health condition has made him sickly with a weak immune system hence unable to work effectively to raise money to fend for his young family. Lack of income made him unable to continuously provide adequate food for himself and his children hence grew sickly due to lack of valuable vitamins in the body to compliment the ARVs medication he was on. The family went days without meals as hunger and starvation became a reality they were dealing with. The kids were missing school due to lack of basic social amenities back at home and the inability of the father to provide them with their basic needs.
