Learn more about how recipients opt in to share their stories.
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.
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 does receiving this money mean to you?
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.
