"I received my third transfer when I had a court case with my in-laws who felt jealous of me having accepted GD transfers. That resulted them into very petty issues with me that finally landed me in a court. I therefore spent a portion of the transfer to settle the court case. Secondly, I paid school fee for my younger brother in secondary school. Since the death of our parents, the boy had been under my care, be it school fee, food, clothing and any other necessity. I found a big relief when I received this transfer that enabled me settle his school fee arrears. I was and is still very happy with this organisation and wishes it revisits my village for the second time."
