Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The big difference in my life is that I have been able to afford proper medical attension and I am feeling better. I also sleep on a better mattress now. If I had not received the transfer,I would have sold the food in order to get money for treatment hence leaving me with nothing to eat.

The moment my son told me that the money was in my phone, I became so happy and I thanked God for the transfers.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I used my first transfer for paying my medical bill buying sand and murram that I am going to use for plastering my house. I have the balance of UGX 900,000 which I intend to use for buying the other construction materials and paying for labour.
