Mourine
received a $484 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that currently, I have a job that earns me income and caters for my household needs. I enjoy interacting with customers on a daily basis since it is just an awesome experience. Initially, I was jobless and this was the reason life looked unbearable to me-I couldn't fend for my household sufficiently well and therefore we were never happy."
