"The biggest hardship I'm facing now is lack of money. Eventhough I was making business to maintain my family but my business collapse when I got seriously sick on February 3, 2021. I used the money I earn from the business I was doing to pay my hospital bills. After I recovered from my sick bed, I started burning charcoal to sustain my family but the money I earn from the charcoal can not maintain all of my family members. Because of that, I send two of my children in Monrovia to stay with my relatives. I will appreciate any help from Givedirectly to maintain my family and improve our living condition."

"My current challenge is to fully support my mother and my siblings. I am a strong person and do a lot of work to sustain my family. I am the only boy child for my family and I have four sisters. All of the work I do and earn money from is not enough to compensate for the burden I receive from providing my family's needs. I have lots of responsibilities from my family. I dropped out of school because I had to fully assume the responsibilities of the family after I loss my father in 2005. Presently, my youngest sister is in the senior class. Up to date, everything about my family lies on my shoulders but my earnings cannot make up for all their needs."
