I lacked most of the household items like a bed, a mattress and tableware; most of the time, I could beg for them hence neighbours considered me a beggar but when I received my third transfer, I spent on them. I don't ask these again from my neighbors anymore.

I spent my second transfer on paid 6,000 KES school fee for my daughter in high school, cementing the walls and floor of my house at 30,000 KES, bought a sack of maize at 5,200 KES, then used the rest of the cash on other home errands.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I'll no longer stress myself with mud smearing the house as before because my house is cemented, my children also dress smartly while going to school and I can also easily store rain water now that I have a bigger water storage tank.

I spent my first transfer on purchasing cement with an intention of plastering my house, cleared paying fees for my child who is in high school and used most of the amount on food to sustain the family.

The moment I received the money I felt very happy and I could not believe it hence it all seemed like a dream but knew that I would be able to purchase most of the things that I needed.
