Upon receiving this cash, it will help me a lot. Because I am the Officer In Charge at the Mecca Community Clinic, single handedly supporting my children since their father died years ago, the salary I earned from the job it only go to feeding and education and receiving such an opportunity, it will help me in sending my children to school and even renovate my house in Monrovia, because the roof is leaking.
