"My goal in the coming year and beyond is to enroll in a mental hospital. With the right treatment, I believe I have a chance of recovering and regaining my independence.

I am grateful for the financial support I have received so far, as it has brought me closer to achieving this goal."

Fixing the house will ensure my safety and provide peace of mind. I am very grateful for the financial support I have received from Give Directly, which has made my life better."

"With my health deteriorating over the last two years, my goal is to save enough money to seek specialized medical treatment to identify the root cause of my health problems and find a lasting solution. Additionally, I plan to invest significantly in purchasing livestock. This investment will provide me with a sustainable source of income even beyond the five years of financial support. I am very happy and content with the financial support I have received so far."

"My goal in the coming year and beyond is to complete the renovations of my house. These renovations will ensure that my house is safe and secure to live in.

I am very grateful for the financial support from Give Directly, which has made this possible."

"Having completed the construction of my house, my next goal this year and beyond is to purchase a bed and a wooden mattress.

It has greatly helped me achieve one of my long-held goals, and I look forward to further improving my quality of life."

"My goal in the coming months is to use a significant portion of my transfers to buy the remaining materials needed to build a new house. I have endured many sleepless nights due to the leaking roof whenever it rains. With the help of these transfers, I plan to construct a new house, which will alleviate the troubles I have faced with my current one. I am deeply appreciative of the financial transfers, as they have transformed my life for the better."

"In the coming year and beyond, my heart is set on expanding my little herd of goats. With just four goats under my care, I see a future where these animals become the cornerstone of my livelihood. You see, I'm not able to take up a traditional job that pays a salary or wage, but that doesn't mean I lack ambition or drive. Instead, I've found my path in livestock farming, particularly with goats. They're resilient creatures, easy to maintain even in the toughest of times. So, I plan to save $10 every month starting today. With each dollar saved, I'm closer to buying more goats and building a stronger foundation for my future. Through dedication and determination, I hope to turn this humble beginning into a thriving herd that sustains me for years to come."

"In the coming year and beyond, my heart races with excitement at the possibilities unfolding before me. With each passing month, I decided to diligently $10 into my savings, a practice I have honed with unwavering determination. As the year draws to a close, the fruits of my labor will manifest in the form of a small herd of goats. This isn't merely about acquiring livestock; it's about nurturing a dream, a vision of self-sufficiency and independence. Through goat farming, I envision not just sustenance but empowerment, a journey toward financial stability, and a life brimming with possibilities."

"In the coming year and beyond, my main aspiration is to regain my independence and health. Every day feels like a battle against my body's betrayals which are high blood pressure and prostate issues, that have left me vulnerable and dependent on others even for the simplest tasks like standing. But I refuse to surrender to these ailments. With every ounce of strength I muster, I'll continue seeking medical treatment, clinging to the hope that one day I'll stand tall without needing assistance, both physically and financially. It's not just about survival; it's about reclaiming my dignity and freedom. With the support of GiveDirectly, I dare to dream of a future where I'm not defined by my limitations but empowered by my resilience to live life on my terms."

"In the coming year and beyond, my biggest hope is to embark on a journey towards self-sufficiency and independence. Despite the challenges I face with my health, I've made a firm decision to take control of my future. One step I'm passionately committed to is saving $10 every month. With each dollar saved, I'm inching closer to a dream I hold dear which is owning goats. The goats will not only provide me with a sustainable source of income but also a sense of purpose and pride. And with poultry alongside, I hope to create a small but thriving ecosystem that sustains me and offers a glimpse of a brighter tomorrow."
