"The biggest hardship I'm currently facing is of shelter,as you can see i live in a glass fatched house,i live a very pathetic life because during rain season i don't sleep at all because my house leaks so much that all my beddings always soaks in water. Secondly i don't have a permanent source of money such as a job or a business,yes i relay on casual labour and farming but i don't get money that can take us through a month,thats why i can't even afford good clothes,proper sleeping place and food."
