What did you spend your third transfer on?
I have a son suffering from sickle cell anemia who needs frequent medical attention and I had sold all my livestock to enable him access medical attention, so when I received my third transfer, I saved it for him given that I never had anything left. I am so happy my son is alive today because I was able to buy the prescribed drugs and get to the hospital as scheduled. Honestly, were it not for these transfers, my son could have passed on. I testify about this in church every day. Thank you and I wish he (my son) was here to say thank you too.
