What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Lack of finances is a big issue for us. If I don't go fishing we'd sleep hungry.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving the movements a whole lot to me. I am very excited and I'm hoping that with wise spending poverty will be a thing of the past.
