How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?

I have been able to expand my business which I sell tomatoes. I used to buy 1 bucket of tomatoes and now I buy 1 crate from which I make more sales and as a result, more profit. With the proceeds, I am able to fend for my family.

How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?

I do not have to struggle much to feed my family, unlike the times that I had never received this transfer when I use to borrow from my sister.
