How I used to sleep with multiple men a night to feed my children

Jerusha Macharia is a mother blessed with two sets of twins. For years, she lived a fulfilling life with her husband — a man she loved deeply. Together, they built their home and supported each other, working tirelessly to provide for their family. Their bond was strong, and their partnership gave them hope for a bright future. One day, while Jerusha was away at work, she received a devastating call: her husband had fallen gravely ill and was rushed to the hospital. She hurried back, clutching the little money she had, believing it would be enough to save him and secure his insurance. At the hospital, she found him critically ill. With tears and desperation, she begged the doctors to save his life. Despite her prayers and efforts, later that day, her beloved husband passed away. Jerusha had called her in-laws repeatedly, but they did not come. Yet, when death struck, they suddenly appeared, pretending to care. She registered her husband at the morgue and returned home, only to face betrayal. Her in-laws seized everything from the house, leaving her with nothing. They even changed the morgue arrangements without her consent. On the burial day, Jerusha was denied recognition as his wife. She was stripped of respect, excluded from the ceremony, and eventually thrown out together with her children. Now, Jerusha and her twins endure unimaginable hardship. To survive, she engages in work she never thought she would do in her lifetime. With no support and no resources, Jerusha ended up selling her body on the streets so that she could cater for her children. In this episode, she will narrate the painful reality of what she has gone through in the hands of men — the indignities, the exploitation, and the sacrifices she has made to keep her children alive.
