What did you spend your second transfer on?
I bought building materials for my family and my mother-in-law. We have been squatters for a long time and this money was heaven sent to help us get our own place. With a house, we don't have to ask for places to sleep anymore and we can have somewhere to call home.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I felt fulfilled, as though, God had remembered me.
