"The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough money to be able to buy a piece of land and build my own house, ever since my spouse was chased away from home we have been renting a room at the shopping center, but our income is hardly enough to cater for our basic needs and pay rent, we might even be evicted by our landlord soon."
