In the letter she wrote, she said she was pregnant for two months. She really wanted to go to a university to study more after finishing school, but she felt very sad because her mom and grandma didn’t seem to care about her dreams.

We must all come together to support one another and seek alternative solutions to the problems we face. It is essential that we reach out to our loved ones, listen to their concerns, and provide the help they need. Let this be a stark reminder that no one should suffer in silence.”
