What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to go to the hospital for a medical check up as I am often sickly. I also need to find a place to stay either by buying a piece of land and building a house or renting a house, the remainder of the funds will be used to start a small business selling cakes.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having had a small business and using my profits to build my former house, I even managed to take care of a my late co-wife's children.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough money to build a house for myself. My spouse chased me away from home and ever since I have been living in my sister in law's house, this is humiliating and dehumanising as she is my late brother's wife and I should be the one taking care of her.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when my brother's children come home from school and they greet me as Aunty, this makes me very happy as I feel loved and not rejected.
