"I hope by the end of this year to get my own land in the city, with this land i will be able to build my own house on it . I don't having place in the city for myself for that reason my family's and i live in the village."

"I'm planning to sent my daughter to the university of Liberia and i was able to celebrate my daughter graduation, my daughter couldn't graduate with her friends if GD was not going to sent me this transfer."

"I was in my kitchen when my alert of the transfer came. I was so happy and began to sing. I thought about improving my business."

"I was married before where I had three children with the father of my children. We later separated due to irreconcilable differences and I came back home. My father gave me a house where I stay in to date. The piece of land that my father owner was however very small and yet I had brothers who needed to have a share in it. When I received the second transfer of $530, I combined it with $450 from the second transfer and used this to buy my own piece of land. I now feel very happy that my children will finally have a place to call home. All along, we have lived like we were squatters but at least we will now be able to build a home and stay comfortably in it just like everyone else."

"In the next one year, I hope to accomplish a lot in my life. In the priority list is to buy a dairy cow that will make it easier for us to meet the needs of our family I plan to do this by taking a loan and using the money to buy one. Right now, I cannot be able to borrow the loan since we are still struggling with the cost of living. The cost of basic commodities is so high such that it is even difficult to meet the cost of basic household needs. I look forward to the day the cost of living with reduce and I will be able to save from my casual work and use the savings to pay back a loan that I will borrow."

"Owning a spacious decent house and living closer to my sons who could offer assistance when under problems is the biggest difference in my life. Previously, I was living in another place away from other family members something that make it very hard to get assistance at night when under any challenge. I am happy that my children can support me since they are easily accessible."
