Violet
received a $481 second payment.
"The biggest difference in daily life is that I no longer borrow clothes to dress for a special occasion as before because I now have my own clothes. Am also very relaxed now that my daughter is in a boarding school hence she won't be involving herself in any inappropriate behaviours that could get her pregnant before she clears her fourth form."
