With the transfer ,I would like to use part of the money approximately $300 to install a tap of water near home. I get drinking water far away from home making it hard for me as a person. I told you earlier old age has kicked in and I am unable to do a lot of work. I will use $200 to buy a cow and $200 to get four goats which I will rear. The rest of the amount I will save up for hospital, food and emergencies.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Last month I was suffering from Pressure,Ulcers and Malaria. I was admitted to the Ganze Referral Hospital. I was in the hospital for three weeks and all my hope was actually lost. Eventually in the fourth week I got better and was discharged from the facility. Till then I have been feeling way better and that's what has brought me joy and happiness in my life. I am able to walk by myself, feed myself and that to me is a greater blessing.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I am a widow who has only one daughter. The challenges I am facing right now is the burden of life. My daughter has her own family but she has to go above and beyond to take care of me and makes sure my needs are met. I feel like a burden to her since she has her things and life going on but has to bend to my demands. Health wise I am not doing okay too. Let's say it's old age. I constantly need medication and since I have no job I am forced to go back to my daughter for that too.
