The festival is expected to bring some joy to their lives, which have been affected by their mother's condition. Further details about their experience and the impact of the festival on their lives are available from the source. The Essence Cultural Festival is a local event that celebrates culture and community, and for these sisters, it will be a welcome respite from their caregiving duties.
