It Wasn’t Safe for Her Daughter
Sierra Leone had just recovered from a civil war, which made the girls’ living situation really difficult. Then, one night, there was a fire in Sesay’s daughter Maya Hughes’s room. Fortunately, the little girl was too young to remember much about that terrible moment. The fire was absolutely traumatizing. And then, unfortunately, Hughes had a medical emergency and needed to see a pediatrician immediately. That was the final straw for Sesay, who decided she needed to get her daughter out of the country as soon as possible.
