Being a homeless person, my first plan is to build a house,secondly I will use part of it to buy household items like furniture and bedding and use the rest to buy food for my family.

My proudest achievement is having been able to raise my children single handedly to the level they are now. My husband died many years ago leaving us with nothing to fall back on.

My biggest hardship is on the fact that I'm disabled hence not able to move alot or do hard work. This has made it difficult for me to cater for my children who are currently staying with a relative because they were suffering here.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I'm cleaning around the house in the morning.I take pride in a clean house and environment.
