What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am happy to be part of the program and I encourage Give Directly to continue with this initiative to others who are also struggling with poverty, I believe that to me, this money will make a very huge difference in my life
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am usually happy in the afternoon hours because it is the time that I spend much with my grandchildren and I am usually happy seeing them around me
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Since the death of my husband, I have been struggling to find basic needs for myself, paying school fees for my children and my grandchildren, buying them clothes even feeding them has been a challenge, I will use this money to start a new business so that the business can be helping me on a long term basis to buy them day to day necessities
