Since than my hopes and dreams of continuing my education was shattered. As a single mother with two kids, every little cent earned from my job as a practicing nurse was spend on my kids education and their daily needs. Happily, with my transfer my new goal is to go back to school to continue with my education. Therefore I am planning on waiting for my next transfer so I can be able to go back to school. With this new goal, I feel so relieved and excited. All thanks to GiveDirectly for this life changing opportunity.
