I am very lucky to receive this money. I did not expect that I can be one of the persons to benefit from give directly. I know the money will not solve all of my problems but am very sure that I will be relieved from the problems that I am facing.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest when I have food in my house. Having food means that I do not have to work and this is the time that I spend with my family and it makes me happy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face is lack of food. As a single parent I have to find piece work so that I can find food for my family. I do not have a child old enough to help me in finding food this makes it very difficult because sometimes we have little or no food at all.
