"I'm planning to buy zinc and nail to roof my house."

"I pay my two children school fees, bought bookbags, copybooks, shoes, and uniform. I also bought mattress to sleep on, food for my family and started a new business to continue helping my family."

"I am Miata Massaley from Gbaigbon town, Bomi County Liberia. I was very happy when I receive my cash transfer massage from Givedrectly. I previously planned to renovate the house I live. Thank God Givedrectly came at the time I really needed money to start the renovation process."

"My major challenge is that, my grandchildren parents died few months ago,there's no one to help me with them, getting food for my grandchildren is also a great challenge for me because I'm not working and i don't have a spouse."

"The hardship I am facing now is financial hardship. The father of my five kids has fallen sick for about four years now and he has not recovered yet. I am the only one paying their school fees with little help from my big brother. Myself I am not educated to enable me have a job to earn more money for their welfare. For this reason, my kids have become additional responsibilities for my older brother. He is just rendering an existence. If I am empowered by Givedirectly through their cash grant, I will bring them under my roof and take their full responsibilities. This will only be realized I have a business functioning."

"There are lots of challenges I'm facing now but the most of all is money. I want to build a pharmacy and also have a place where I treat patients but there's no money. I'm tired of putting drugs bucket and going around in the various villages Eventhough I sell drugs to maintain my family, the money I earn from the business, I use it to cater for my family needs and is not enough to build a pharmacy. I will appreciate any help from Givedirectly to improve my livelihood."

"If I'm successful for Givedirectly cash transfer I want to use some of the money to complete my house which I have been struggling to do. Eventhough I'm doing teaching job as means of earning money to maintain my family, the money I earned, is use on food and other needs."

"If I'm successful to receive this money I will improve my business and complete the building of my video club which I have been struggling to do. The reason I want to improve my business and complete the building of my video club is that, the money I earn from the job I was doing, I use some to invest in to business and use the balance to build a video club because we don't have video club in this town and most of the men in this town love football games and they go to another town to witch the game. I decided that instead of them going out to watch the game let me build a video and a shop as means of earning money to maintain my family but the money was not enough to complete the building of the video club."

"The biggest hardship I'm facing now is lack of money. Since my son graduated from high school I have not been able to send him to university to achieve higher education. Eventhough I do little business as means to sustain my family but the money I earn from the business, is not enough to reconditioned my house and send my son to university. Seeing my son sitting home all day without extending his education worries me a lot. I will appreciate any help from Givedirectly that will enable me send my son to university to extend his education."
