What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest challenges I am facing right now is not being able to afford clothes and food for my children. My husband runs a small business, he is currently selling mangoes and the profits are not enough to cater for our needs.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My husband is running a small business and he sells mangoes since we are in the season of mangoes. The small profit he makes allows is to buy food even though it is on a daily basis. Being able to eat everyday is what has brought joy in our lives.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
I would use this money to buy iron sheets which I have always wanted but I could not afford. I would also use the money to buy mattress and blankets since I the ones we have right now are just rags. Lastly I would buy food to relieve me from daily purchases.
