Receiving the money means paying school fees g my grand child. When he completes his education, he will be able to support me at my old age. Currently, I pay my grand child's school fees through selling some of the few animals I have but they are almost going to extinction.
On the other hand, I will acquire adequate treatment. I have a problem with my knee and requires some seriousedical attention which I have not been all to receive the to lack of money.

The biggest hardship I face in my life is limited income. I failed to get treatment because I did not have money. The little money that I get through the sale of my cows is put into my grand child's education hence living me in a tabulent situation I looking for more money to cater for next term. The income I receive therefore is not sufficient.
