received a $484 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I feel peaceful at heart and accomplished as well since I have managed to build a decent three roomed house hence I no longer stay in a leaky grassed thatched house since all my savings that I intended to build house with I could use on my ailing child.
