My name is Marie Korffeh.  I am 30 years of age and was born in Foya Karma Village, Foya Statutory District, Lofa County, Liberia.  During the war, we were running from place to place and reached to a nearby village to hide ourselves.  Unfortunately, a group of rebel fighters met us and I was seriously beaten by them to the extent that one of my legs was affected which led to my being disabled as I am today.  I am a single parent, living with three children and have no one to help me.  When people see me they sometimes laugh at me because of the condition that I find myself in.  My children and I do not have good clothing and housing.  I struggled very hard in order for us to sustain ourselves.
