I'm Neo KirchBaby
I am a double amputee wife and mother of twin boys. This channel shows my daily life with my wonderful family.
I grew up not knowing about technology. Going to school exposed me to the modern technology and now I have a youtube channel, blog, instagram, facebook, etc. I started these platforms also to share my life hoping to help someone out there see that if Neo can do it, they can do it. I go by the slogan
If Neo can do it, YOU can do it.
INTRODUCING THE FAMILY
NEO KIRCHBABY
Hi! My name is Neo and I am a double amputee mother with twin boys named Caleb and Joshua (4 years) and a one year old boy named Michael. I am from Botswana, Africa. I grew up in a village called Molepolole which is the largest village in Botswana (about 65,000 people). I was raised by a single mother who worked very hard to provide for my brother and I and to give us a chance to succeed.
My Extended Family
I was raised by a single mother who worked very hard to provide for my brother and I and to give us a chance to succeed. One of her jobs was working in a Chinese restaurant and only made 70 Pula per month ($7)!!! But she worked hard and kept expenses down and managed to provide for us. She now has real estate properties as well as livestock!!! She taught us to waste not and cherish the things we have and to share. One time my husband, while we were dating, mailed my favorite candy bar (Hershey’s Cookies and Cream) overseas. I would share the bar with my two nephews and we would only eat one little square per day and make it last 2 weeks. It was soo good!
I’m very close to my older brother, Moshe (Moses), and he has been my male figure in life. He graduated from the University of Botswana and is a successful accountant/auditor in Gaborone – the capital city. He has a lovely wife and five kids and enjoys going to the Lands (cattle-post) and raising his cattle – like a shepherd!
One of the things my mother strove to do was to teach us to work hard. As a result I did well in school and was awarded a scholarship to travel abroad and go to university in Canada (Carleton University).
I had never flown before, nor been exposed to that kind of climate, nor been away from home that long- what an adjustment! Making friends with my fellow international students was easy and helped with the homesickness.
While attending Carleton, in my free time I would surf the Net- something a village girl from Botswana had never done before – and I was amazed at the wealth of information. I had found wonderful tutors to help me make it through Calculus 2, Econometrics, and other realms of Academia. I had also found sources of entertainment…. KOREAN DRAMAS!!! (Something a village girl from Botswana had never done before:)
And I had found online friends as well which led me to visit America for the first time. And that caused me to meet my husband….
