Receiving this money means that I will be able to tackle my two challenges that I've already mentioned. Firstly, I plan on buying a 2 beds and 2 mattresses. One for my daughter here and one for me and my spouse. I have always desired to sleep comfortably on a mattress so that's why I would do this first. I tell you sleeping on the mat one wakes up exhausted, it's as if I don't even get to rest. I am unsure of the current prices so I can't put a price tag on these items as of now. Thereafter, I plan on buying 10 bags of maize costing 28$ each from Kantwanje market which is right here in my area. This I will do so that I am guaranteed of food security in my family. If there will be some money left I will save that for unforseen circumstances in future. All these I plan on implementing in a week's time after receiving the money.

I find meaning in life when my husband, Jali Gombo is home and we are having supper together with our daughter, Berthia Gombo here. This brings me comfort and joy.

Currently I only have two challenges, thus, hunger and lack of furniture in my house. This year in April I only had 2 bags, weighing 50kgs each, of maize from my 2 acres farm instead of 12 or 13 which I usually get when I apply fertilizer. Yes, I didn't apply fertilizer in my field last season for it was expensive and I couldn't afford it. Those who could afford were for 15$ for bag from vendors. Me and my family ate these 2 bags until July and since then we have had to rely on charcoal selling business for survival. It has been a struggle ever since because we only get 4$ from 2 bags of charcoal which we sell a month and as you can tell this is not sufficient to carter for food and other basic household needs such as buying furniture, beds and even mattresses. Currently, we sleep on a mat the one you saw inside but we wish we slept on a bed with a mattress on it but we are unable to attain that luxury due to financial constraints that we are facing as a household.
