What did you spend your third transfer on?
When Give Directly visited me for the first time, I lived in a very pathetic house-the house looked poor that I was even ashamed to allow them in but thank to God Give Directly considered me for transfers and therefore when I received my third transfer, I plastered the house that I had started with the second transfer. Currently, I live in a better house.
