What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Providing food for my family. My husband is a casual labourer who sometimes comes back home with nothing.

In the evening when all my family members are back home. We get to eat together and rest after the day's activities

I look foward to owning my own house. We are currently staying in a rented house which is too small for my family. We also plan to buy a boat for business at the beach, this will be able to sustain our needs as a family
