What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I spent a portion of it on purchasing furniture, that was a sofa set and a cupboard which I used in furnishing my house. Secondly, I purchased a gas cooker and a cylinder. I previously used a charcoal burner which seemed very expensive more so during rainy season. Lastly, I purchased myself and children clothes and as we speak we have enough to put on.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have gotten rid of all kinds of frustrations that occupied my mind before. I got worried a lot when my children could not get adequate food, better clothes and many other basic needs I ought to have provided.
