"Nimepita kwenye mapito mengi na baada ya hayo mapito Mungu alinitetea. Nimeugua Asthma tokea nikiwa mtoto. Nimemtumikia Mungu nikiwa na hiyo Asthma. Nafikiri hata watu wengi walishindwa kunielewa. Nikitoka kwa madhabau mara nyingi sikuwa nataka mtu yeyote kunisogelea maana nilikuwa nahema kwa nguvu sana. So imenisumbua kwa miaka mingi zaidi. Niliomba nikamlilia mungu nikajiuliza itakuaje, " she said.
