"The most noticeable difference in my daily life is the peace of mind I've had since the first transfer. I had been working on other people's farms for little pay for a long time, but after receiving my first transfer, I purchased enough food and am planning to install a long-term piped water system right outside my door. I am grateful for the generous support and hope to accomplish much more with the subsequent transfers."

"For a long time, I could not see, and any operations that required a closer look were always made possible by my children and grandchildren who came along to assist. The first transfer occurred while my assistant, Beatrice, was holding my phone, and as soon as she confirmed the receipt, she came home to inform me of the exciting news. I was delighted and grateful to God for making this possible at a time when I desperately needed support. I made an arrangement with my assistant and collected them the next day at a nearby shopping center."

"The most noticeable difference in my daily life is the ongoing renovation to create an extra room in my home for my five children. They had been sleeping in deplorable conditions, and everyone is hoping that they will soon have enough space and a clean environment to store their books and clothes as well as study in. The new room is spacious and will be able to accommodate more than one bed once it is completed, so it will be sufficient for my growing children, who had been sleeping in a small store at my doorstep."

"In the coming years, I hope to see massive growth in my business. It is my prayer everyday that my goods should sell and bring me more profit. There are other dreams I hope to accomplish, like building a house in our city Fishtown; but all that depends on the growth of my business. My children's graduating from high school is also something I am looking forward to in the near future; this will make me the happiest mother in this world."
