Jenifer
received a $499 third payment.
"I bought a new set of sofa-set, T.V and a solar system that I use to lighten my house. I was tired of using paraffin lamps as my lighting system and that is why I opted to buy a solar system. My children were also frequenting my neighbors house to go and watch T.V and this never made me happy at all and that is why I decided to buy a T.V set."
