How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
No.My past goal have been building a new house due to the leakage of the one that I'm living in currently. I'm living currently in an old and leaking house. This house started leaking about two years now. I've been living in this house over 5 years now. I never had money to build a new house due to lack of money. Farming have been my source of income and my children and have been suffering to the extent that we never had fitting clothes to wear. However,GD came in my town and gave me a huge amount of money to change my situations which I'm doing very well now.
