Beatrice
received a $22 eighth payment.
"I am planning to buy household items such as a new sofa-set which I have always lacked for quite a long time. The seat that I have right now is old and in a dilapidated state and it embarrasses me so much whenever I get visitors who come to pay me a visit.
Once I get the seats I know my living standard will have been elevated to some extent."
