If I'm successful to receive this money, I will use some to send my son to university and use the balance to reconditioned my house which have been my plan.
Since my son graduated from high school, I haven't been able to aford money for him extend his education in university. The house I live in is not in good condition, the roof of the house has been damaged.
Eventhough I'm doing business to sustain my family, the money I earn from the business is what I use to pay my children who are in grade school tuition fees, and use the balance on my wife medical bills.
What is the happiest part of your day?
In the last six months, what has brought me joy is the recovery of my wife in September 2021. It brought happiness to me because, I was worried about her health and more besides, I have spent all the business money on her hospital bills and I can't bear to lose her.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I'm facing now is lack of money.
Since my son graduated from high school I have not been able to send him to university to achieve higher education.
Eventhough I do little business as means to sustain my family but the money I earn from the business, is not enough to reconditioned my house and send my son to university. Seeing my son sitting home all day without extending his education worries me a lot.
I will appreciate any help from Givedirectly that will enable me send my son to university to extend his education.
