What does receiving this money mean to you?
The medication of my son. My son is suffering from a illness that I can't even explain. The treatment business has been my worries looking at my present living conditions. I don't have money to feed my family not to even talk about treatment for my son.
From this money, I will carry my son for proper treatment and buy food for my family.
