Meet Saah Taylor
My name is Saah Taylor. I am 39 years old and was born in Bandienin Village, Warm Clan, Foya Statutory District, Lofa County, Liberia. One day, when I came home from school, I was reading my notes and afterwards, I decided to go to bed. It was around 2:00pm. While asleep I had a dream in which I heard something that sounded like a gun firing. When I woke up I felt pain in one of my feet; but I did not take it seriously. Before the next morning, my entire foot was swollen up and this resulted into a chronic illness. I was taken to the hospital and the doctor said that the only remedy was to have the foot that was hurting amputated. This made me very discouraged, and frustrated and I even decided to poison myself. It was only by the help of the community’s members who continued to encourage and counsel me until this present time that I survived. However, when I think about my condition as a disabled, without being able to work and to get anything for myself, I still become discouraged
