“Strength is not the absence of struggle, it is the ability to rise despite it”

– MoM acknowledges home recipient for hard work and determination

Roslyn Benette, a single mother of five young children, whose courage and determination reflect the indomitable spirit of Guyanese women, was featured recently in a social media post by Men on a Mission (MoM), to highlight the lives of those who are recipients of homes provided by the organisation.

According to MoM, Benette was once employed as a security officer, and faced unimaginable hardship, including domestic abuse that forced her to make the brave decision to walk away, not just for herself, but for the safety of her children.
With limited means but unwavering resolve, she turned to small-scale farming around her home, cultivating vegetables and other produce which she proudly sells at the Lusignan Market every Saturday. Each wheelbarrow she pushes represents sacrifice, love, and the unbreakable will to provide for her family.

Though life remains challenging, MoM noted, Benette stands like a beacon of resilience, faith, and dignity. “Through Men on Mission, we continue to stand with women like her: those who fight quietly but powerfully every day to build a better life for their children. True strength lives in stories like Roslyn’s, ordinary people doing extraordinary things in the name of love,” it noted.
