"The hard time i'm facing right now is no money. I really want to build my house because the house that i'm living in now is leaking and the walls are shocking, because the house is old; school has already opened and my children are still sitting home because we don't have money to pay their school fees. So by GiveDirectly giving me this money, it will help me to build my house and send my children to school."
