What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I spent on a cow and cleared school fees arrears for my 4 children in school. The money has really given me a lot of relief that I never expected. It was a very nice experience indeed.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that currently, stress I used to succumb to has really plummeted-I couldn't sleep due to stress of educating my children since I never had a stable source of income and therefore I will remain grateful to Give Directly for what it has done to my life.
