What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I plan to spend the transfer to construct a bigger house to accommodate my family. I also plan to use the transfer to clear fee balance for my son who finished high school last year. I also plan to use the transfer to go for medication. I broke my limb four years ago and I feel that I should get cured.

The biggest hardship that I have faced in life is when I broke my hip. It has been difficult for me to afford the money needed for medication.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when am having dinner with my family. I feel very happy because they always make me happy.
