What does receiving this money mean to you?
Firstly I am so happy to be enrolled into the program. The money will help me to seek medical care and to buy wheelchair. I was diagnosed with stroke, in May 2020 and since then my whole life has been completely changed. I rely on my wife for movement and with her age, it's very difficult to carry me everywhere. The wheelchair will help me to go on places that I used to go before stroke but it's unfortunate that I can not farm. Receiving this money, will meant bringing my problems to end.
What is the happiest part of your day?
At the moment, I am not a happy person. But at times, am happy when my wife is happy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that am facing is being sick. I have stroke that has affected the whole part of my left side. Without it, I would have finished plastering my house.
