"I spent a half of my third transfer on payment of dowry for my spouse whom I had married for approximately seven years. I felt much guilt for staying with her for all these years without accomplishing the rite of passage. I struggled a lot for things to work, unfortunately the struggles bore me no fruit. Being a total orphan without anybody to offer me any kind of support, all that I could get in a day was all consumed by the family members. Receiving this last transfer was therefore such a blessing that granted me a good opportunity to pay my wife's dowry. Besides that, I purchased enough food stuffs for my family who again relied fully on the meager income I received from my casual jobs for any need they had. I was so grateful for the support offered that rose me to this level that I am in currently."
