What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on starting a snacks business which I had a lot of hopes in as it would generate me some daily income.I am so happy today that as we speak, the business has picked so well. Besides that, I purchased a television so that my children would have a view of it in our own house rather than in the neighborhood which resulted them into many problems. Lastly, i purchased a mattress since the one I was having had become so old and torn.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the improved living standard that I have experienced with the snack business that I began. I am very healthy that whoever saw me before the transfers can not believe it's the me today.

I spent most of my first transfer to buy a bed since I was spreading my mattress on the floor. I bought a travelling bag because I would always borrow whenever am travelling and the remaining amount I spent to buy food for my family.

I was at home and when I saw the message, I raan into the house and prayed to God for the miracle. I thought it was a lie, but when I withdrew the money, I realized that GD keeps true to their promise. Thank you GD
