What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent most of my second transfer on purchasing construction materials that I planned to use in constructing a new house to replace the grass thatched one that I owned before. Secondly, I paid for medical services for my child who had been paralyzed with sickle cell. I spent a total of 24000 KES towards which I really doubted to have afforded were it not for the transfer.
