Kazosi
received a $435 second payment.
"Building rental homes is what I'm doing right now. Since the property is near to a school, I have plans to set up a food kiosk there along with other quickly consumed items for students and teachers. I now operate a mobile fry stand in a nearby school, but I would prefer to have a permanent location where customers may purchase multiple items at once. I'll be able to increase my income because of this."
