What does receiving this money mean to you?
The money will meant buying iron sheets and other materials that will be used to roof the house. I live with my old mother and she finds it difficult to sleep on grass thatched house during rain season as it leaks alot. With that I work so hard to buy iron sheets enough for the house but I only managed to buy 4sheets. The money gift will help me to speed up the process.

At the moment it's very difficult to take care of my mother the way I have always wanted, so it's difficult to provide food, proper shelter and clothes.
