What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am deaf and can't talk good. I have four children that their father left with me upon his demise. My bigger sister taking care of them in Monrovia. If I receive a cash gift from GiveDirectly, I will send some to my sister who is doing everything for my children.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Two months ago, my two children visited me and spent two days with me. I was so happy and dancing all over the village.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My major challenge is finding daily meal for myself. It hard for a woman of my condition to be alone doing everything on my own. Since my husband passed away, I have been alone doing everything for myself.
