"The biggest hardship that I have faced was not being able to raise hospital fees amounting to ksh. 76,000 to facilitate the operation and release of my wife from hospital. She had a complicated delivery and at that time i didn't have any source of income.As a result, I was forced to sell all my property in order to raise the money and ever since then, i have not managed to recover financially.
