"The moment when I received my money I felt my mood change completely and the lady I was walking with asked what was going on with me, then I told her that I had just received a piece of good news but without being specific. It happens that my children and I had not eaten a proper meal for two days because I am widowed and was going through a difficult time financially, but at least with the money we could eat something , and also do a few other things."
