"I don have anyone to support me my mother died in delivery room and father died during the 1990 war in Liberia, so I was unable to continue my schooling. My husband left me with there children after I left the sick bush last year January and I take care of them all by myself. I do contract around getting a little income to support my three children and myself, but these contracts are hardly available. If I'm successful in the givedirectly cash transfer program I have a lot on mind already but sending my children to school, building a new home and starting a business are my key priorities."
