What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am so happy to be receiving this money from Givedirectly. As a single mother of 4 children of which one of them is epileptic, this money will come as a relief in taking care of my children. I have a half built house which am not able to finish due to financial constraints. This money will help me finish my house and also buy some items I need in my home.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is usually in the evening when I have made my sales and I can be able to make my budget
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My Child is epileptic and I have to go to hospital ever two weeks to get medicine. This is a challenge as I need transport every time and I sometimes do not have the transport to go with him to the hospital.
