Receiving this money is a great blessing to me. I have faced so many challenges in life. I lost my parents almost 15 years ago and our lives turn for the worse. As if that is not enough bad luck would strike again sometime in 2019 when I was involved in a motorcycle accident that rendered me indisposed and bedridden for 5 months. I broke my bolt joint which has rendered me incapacitated. So bad is the situation that my first wife left me alone. It was the most devastating time that I even contemplated suicide because I did not see the essence of living again. I still limp because I did not get the right medication since I could not afford the KES 40000 to do the surgery at Longisa Hospital. It is for this reason that I intend to use this money to seek medication and resume back to normal life. I will use the remaining amount to buy a second-hand power saw.

I do not recount the last time I have been happy. I suffer in silence, people hardly visit us. It is like we have been condemned, but the idea of Give Directly transfers was good news to me. The world was like it had come to a standstill.If there is someone who has felt this transfers more than anybody else it is myself. I cried the tears of joy about the idea and I am pretty sure it will bring me back to my feet and be able to resume my normal life.

I used to work as a power saw operator for my disposable income but since I got involved in the accident I have been economically inactive. I have lived a life of anguish and destitution as a result, I am so miserable since I do not have any source of income anymore. Walking is a problem, I support myself with a walking stick just to make some short strides. I am a burden to my wife and my child. I am a worried and hopeless man since society expects me to provide for them as the head of the family.
