Going through a tough life and getting sick most of the time is sad but all in all, I am still grateful that I am alive today together with my family.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I feel sick a week ago, unfortunately, I have not been able to seek medication due to a lack of money. My son is also not feeling well, he has not been to school for one week now due to the sickness. It stresses me not being in a position to seek medication due to insufficient funds.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
I would wish to know how it feels to sleep in a comfortable bed. All my life I have been sleeping on a bed made with ropes. It is very uncomfortable sleeping in such kind of a bed. My first budget is therefore to buy a comfortable bed which will cost me around 6000KES. For me to achieve this and have all the money at hand I plan to save for two conservative months. Receiving this money means sleeping comfortably.
