What does receiving this money mean to you?
Upon receiving this cash, my plan is to do something good with it that will benefit me and my family. Because as you can see, this is not my body, my husband and myself are suffering too much. The house we are in is not in a good condition, we send our children to other families just for us to hustle so we can send one or two thing for our children to live a better life while in other families control. For this, my plan in receiving this cash, I will build a decent house, by using some of the money to buy sticks and zincs, send my children to good schools. I feel embarrassed seeing other neighbors children talking about school and my children are not in school, because the world we lived in today, education pays a lot. Lastly, I will use some of the money to invest in business to sustain me and the children for better living.
What is the happiest part of your day?
We give God the glory for making us to see this day, no one pressurizing us for debt and other things we happy. Lastly, the present of Givedirectly to my house by giving me phone and assuring me of receiving cash make me the happiest person in this village. We have not experience such an opportunity before. And we assure Givedirectly that, when we receive this cash, we will use wisely for the betterment of the family and for the good name of Givedirectly.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Since our relationship, we have faced hardship more, because, to get money, we have to do hard labor practice by making rice farm, cutting palm or brushing on our other people farm just to survive. We know the ill-treatment, that our children are receiving, we have to accept it, because we don't have.
