After investing deeply in his relationship with Aisha, Selemen Hussein found himself abandoned and destitute, forced to collect and sell plastic bottles to survive.
Hussein was deeply in love with Aisha, supporting her financially and emotionally through her education.
“I sold cars, land, and business shops to raise money for her education, stipend, and financial debts, but she betrayed me. Why did you do this to me, Aisha?” he tearfully recounted to Afrimax English.
His dedication was met with betrayal when Aisha left him for another man after he had sponsored her education in Canada.
“I was moved with compassion to help her when she told me about her huge financial debt. As a loving and caring boyfriend, I gave up my possessions and business to help her, but she turned against me,” he said.
Despite facing homelessness and abandonment by both his lover and family, Hussein refused to succumb to despair. He found strength in the simple act of collecting and selling plastic bottles to make ends meet.
“My parents had warned me against girls and money. Now, I am left homeless and destitute as my family also abandoned me. I collect and sell plastic bottles for a living,” the Tanzanian painfully shared.
