Single with a Child, Wendy Alexander Has Gone on to Create a Great Life

Wendy Alexander grew up in South Africa feeling the sting of segregation and racism. As Wendy shares her story she talks about her first encounter at a whites only beach when she was seven and later as she was asked to leave a whites only coach on a train at age fifteen. 

Her father and mother wanted a better life for Wendy and her four siblings so the family moved to Melbourne, Australia. Wendy talks of a relationship that ended in part due to physical abuse while she was pregnant. She shares about the difficulties of having a baby while single and not having any support from the baby's father.

As I sit here and reflect on our conversation I must admit that hearing how Wendy persevered during her darkest days is what stands out. She had a large debt, had a newborn and worked hard to rise above her situation. 

Wendy is a great example of someone who has a never give up attitude and it was a pleasure hearing her story.
