What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I have faced in my life is not finding a man to marry me. I really want to be married but I can't find a man to marry me, it's been 2 years since my husband left me and nobody has approached me.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is afternoon. This is because my children are usually around and playing which is very beautiful for me. My children are everything to me.

Receiving this money has come as a blessing for me. My husband left me and left me with totally nothing so I will use this money to build a good house for my children and I.
