"My top concern is my family because as a parent I want the best for my children and am not so sure if I will give them the best education and life they need. Secondly the fact that I don't have employment is also a concern because I also have a disabled child who needs special attention that am not able to provide as a mother and lastly getting daily subsistence is a problem sometimes especially since my business backfired a while ago so it is always hard to provide to my family sometimes.

Due to heavy debts I would also want to clear them at least to set me free, so far I have two children and for a while now have been unable to at least provide enough clothing for them. I would want them to look neat like children who really have parents. "
