What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have ever got is lack of enough money to access medical care/ treatment. Because of lack of money I didn't even get aĺl the treatment I was told to get which has made all my two legs to be paralised/disabled.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Today our villiage have recieved too much rain which is a sign of a blessing and to be more happiest is seeing you people from Give Directly coming to restore my hope, which is unexpected at this old age of my mine getting all that money to help me in my OLD age. It simply means my healthy will be improved.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
It neans that am getting assistance to help me in accessing medical care I need, good and improving on my shelter
