What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to use the transfer to pay school fees for my grandchild, he passed so well and yet to join high school.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
I have managed to bring up my grandchildren through hard work, I ensure they don't miss going to school, they dress well and that they don't sleep hungry. I feed them on the farm produce and sell some to use the cash in offering them the basic needs.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I have struggled enough to see to it that my grandchildren grow to be who they are, at times I think of doing away with my life to be stress free all because of the burden of being an old single parent.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am only happy when I'm out of a church fellowship more so in the morning. It's the only way I feel comforted to keep on pressing on!
