Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my life is that, I now sleep very well since I acquire better beddings for myself and the children. Previously, we slept on torn mattresses which could get disorganized immediately one changed the sleeping position. In addition, I have also already secured building materials for building my permanent house. I have not yet started with construction because I delayed to make the bricks due to unavoidable circumstances.
