What does receiving this money mean to you?
I have had difficulties in bringing up my children up. I was abandoned by my husband in 2018, in 2020 I came and settle here because this is my birth home town.I had to stay out off school to use the cash I was getting from my little hustle to send my children to school. I am a 11 grade school dropped out. My current situation has given strength to keep pressing forward. Getting this money will get me into business and the profits will be use to get me back and school while I also keep the children in school to.
What is the happiest part of your day?
This program from Give Directly has brought so much joy to me. I am about to start another life all over. Not just that, but I will be a student again. Even though time has pass on, but I can still push on to complete twelve grade. Thanks to you people for the help.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My challenge is the up keep of my children financially. I say this, because everything I worked for or earned from selling is been spent behind them. People blessed me at times with cash, but all is spent on their up keep. Fortunately for me; the small business I was doing collapse. Now I am aided by my uncle who is the assistant Commissioner to send my children to school for now. I have tried very hard for help and I believe that this money will give me another chance to make life.
