What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?

I have had a problem feeding my family especially last season where our gardens were spoilt due to bad weather due to too much sunshine.

What is the happiest part of your day?

I am happiest in the evening because that is when my children get back from school and we have some time together.

What does receiving this money mean to you?

I am happy receiving this cash transfers from Givedirectly because it will enable me take back my children to school and also finish my family house.
