Rael: "I thank you" Aug 23, 2021
Hello thank you. God bless you for your good heart for helping me. I thank you so much. My children will have uniforms and school fees. I will start my business. God bless you.
Overview
I am a 28 year old mother of four, farmer, and fistula survivor. My most recent birth was very difficult and left me with a fistula that was repaired at the hospital. I live with my husband and our children.
My goals are to start a business selling fish. I will earn more than my husband and I earn farming right now. I need to earn more to pay for my children's school fees and uniforms.
I need $300 to buy ice and coolers to store the fish for my fish selling business, and to pay for school fees and uniforms for my children while my business gets off the ground.
Meeting this need will help me because I am a motivated mother and I want my children to have good opportunities for education. I only need help tiding us over and getting my business started.
Need funded!
Thank you for helping Rael fund this need.
