For some people, the money I need to send them to school ain’t nuff but when you’re in my situation it’s really a lot,” he said.“It’s very, very hard personally and financially. I cannot work since I got the second heart attack because I’m constantly in pain. Every day, my heart feeling mo’ and mo’ bad,” Mohan said.
