We spent on buying iron sheets, timber, poles and a cow for rearing. I was homeless living in my cowife's house but now free in my own homestead. I feel very free and safe in my new house that have built with GD transfers.
I am also hoping to take good care of my cow to reproduce and provide me with milk.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my life is having my own house which I never knew I would build so soon. I am very peaceful and happy since I moved from my cowife's house to my own home. Thanks to GD
