The biggest hardship is looking for food on a daily basis because I do not have a good income and yet I am a widow with a big family to feed.

Receiving this money means that I will sleep comfortably because I will buy a mattress and will no longer sleep on my spring bed which normally hurts my back. Besides that I will be able to start a poultry business and earn a daily income from it.
