What does receiving this money mean to you?
I want to build my own house. I'm currently living in my late grandmother house and it's in a very deplorable condition.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Being able to wake up everyday sound and in good health has brought joy to me. Also, my wife's family were able to come for her and take her to Monrovia for treatment where she is recuperating from gradually has brought me joy as well.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I don't have a good house and my wife is sick and I'm unable to care for her financially. The house I'm in currently, has a lot of leakage which I don't have money to repair. Also, my wife legs is damaged and there's no money to send to her for treatment so she's at her parents place right now.
