I was born in South as well, Point Fortin to be exact but I moved to London as a child, 28 years ago. These stories are so relatable, the food, the living conditions, the fact that my two brothers and I came here with my mum. The hard work, success and pure love from you and your family is inspirational. Sending you all the best wishes and hoping God continues to bless you all 💕🙏🏽

Claudette’s love for Gerd, her selflessness, hard work, goal setting, and praying family along with Gerd’s and his sibling’s support of education has created this beautiful, caring and successful family you see today. Both of your moms lived intensionally with God at the forefront and that seems to be what the both of you did as well when you decided to set the foundation for you life together.

I finally got my son to bed, he's one, and I had some time to sit and breathe before beginning my assignments, and watched this video. It was sent from God to me for sure. Hearing Gerds mom talk about her struggle as a student and mom of 6 living in the Bronx, and overcoming it all, and even Gerds struggle growing up and overcoming that and yours as well. As a young Latina trying to do right by her family and my son as a single mom, I literally prayed with yall at the end and I couldn't be more thankful for your channel and Adriennes channel! I look up to both of you and your families are truly incredible and inspiring to say the least! I want to thank you for sharing this video and Samantha who requested it!!
