Elisha received a $484 second payment.

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am peaceful at heart and happy as I have bought the necessary building materials which I couldn't afford earlier hence I am hopeful of building a spacious three roomed house in my own homestead which I have been longing for in a long time. At the moment I am staying in a small leaky house at my parents homestead and this situation is uncomfortable and non comforting as well."
