Jacinta
received a $481 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have finally achieved my dream (a Retail Shop of my own). It happens that I used to be employed in my sister's retail shop as a saleslady and this is one career where I can say I am most experienced but lacked capital to start off on my own. I am confident I will do well. Thank you very much."

I have also paid school fees for my two children who are in primary school with ease , I feel happy and motivated seeing them go to school as their colleagues."
