received a $235 initial payment.
"I expect my life in the next six months to have improved because I will be having funds. I will put ceiling in my house because it is still pending, take my children to a good school and have a better economic status. The above sources of income (selling milk, beans and poultry) will enable me to fulfill these plans."
