When I received my second transfer, I purchased construction materials that I planned to use in construction of a house to enable me vacate the rental house that I had occupied for so many years.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
When I received my first transfer, I paid school fees for my 2 children in a primary school. It was not easy for me as a widow to clear the balances so that I could get their performance report till I got this money. I could now know how my children were performing based on frequent evaluations that were held at school due to school fees arrears.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I never had food to eat that evening and I was just ironing for someone to get some few coins to put food on the table and therefore when I checked my phone and found the money, I felt very happy and prayed a lot. I knew that I would now buy food for us and get performance evaluation reports, for my children, that had been held at school.
