Rosemary
received a $96 initial payment.
"The moment when I received my money, I was elated beyond words since I could come up again. It so happens that my stock of rice had just run out completely and somehow I did not have any working capital at the time because I support a large family, so here I could buy more stock and continue with my rice-selling business.
