received a $491 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I no longer worry about rainy days anymore because now I live in a bigger, iron sheet roofed house and my family, including myself are happy because we no longer have to seek for shelter whenever it rains, I used to live in a grass thatched house which was small, leaking, dusty and almost falling down."
