What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on paying for medical services for my daughter who has suffered for so long from asthma. In her entire life she has never gotten an opportunity of seeing a doctor as most of the doctors required a much higher amount than I could provide. We are so glad today that she is recovering from her illness and can today stay full time in school without any inconveniences.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I felt so good when I received my transfer which was a very big blessing on us as it would revive the lost hopes of ever having our daughter healed.
