Owning a saloon business will be what this money will mean to me. This will make me self reliant and very constructive in the community. I will be able to generate daily income that will support me and boost my self esteem. Currently, I help in some body's saloon in exchange for a wage which is not sustainable.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is after lunch. This is because it is my resting time. It finds me when I have already eaten and reluxing. My stress is before a meal because I have to think of what to eat.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Lack of a reliable source of income is my biggest hardship. I am a girl with personal needs. The money I receive as a wage is not sufficient to solve my problems. Besides, some days I am not paid when there is no work which makes me vulnerable.
