What does receiving this money mean to you?
I plan to complete my house when I recieve this transfer; I have been living in this unfinished building for the past three years; it has always been my dream to complete my house but due to lack of finance I have not been able to do so.
What is the happiest part of your day?
For the last six months the only thing that brought happiness to me is Givedirectly; my wife has been sick for couple of months and due to my financial strength she has not been able to do proper treatment but with the present of Givedirectly I have the hope that I will be able to pay for her treatment.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The challenges I'm face with is finance; my only source of income is subsistence farm and it is not enough to meet our daily needs. I have always dream of planting a large cocoa plantations with that I will be able to fully support my family, but due to finance I have not been able to meet my goal.
