Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that, these days I feed well and even eat my meals on time. This was not the case in the past when I never had money to feed myself properly.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
When the message reached my phone in the middle of the night, I just knew that it was the GD transfer because I don't usually receive messages at that time of the night. On confirming that this was the money, I felt too excited because this was the first time I received such a big sum of the money at once in the history of my life.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I have spent my first transfer to buy three cows at Ugx1300000 and pay the medical bills for my family members at Ugx200000. I also bought two mattresses at Ugx200000.
