What does receiving this money mean to you?
Being the 15th child of my father who's having twenty five (25) children and not being able to support me in school, my aunt Lucia Debleh took me into her house to take care of me and promised to send me to school unfortunately I was just living with her just to make sure I cooked, cleaned her children clothes and cleaned the house without sending me to school which led to me remaining in the FIRST GRADE CLASS but later return to my father to continue my studies unfortunately I couldn't due to the lack of financial support.
I will used the money if selected to received transfer from Give Directly to support my child and myself in school and the remaining money will be used to start a business which will sustain us in the future.
