What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship is lack of food. My husband is a fisherman but sometimes he comes back from the lake without money and we're forced to stay hungry.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest time of the day is the evening when my husband comes back from fishing. This is because he usually brings something for us to eat.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money will ensure that we have sufficient food.Right now that is not possible.
