Christine faced many challenges throughout her life, but her determination and inner strength always helped her overcome the obstacles that appeared on her path. She dreamed of finding a stable job that would allow her to support her family. She had faced financial difficulties for years and unemployment was starting to weigh heavily on her shoulders.
