What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on payment of Secondary school fee for my child (5,000 KES) to enable her learn consistently, and also bought new fishing nets to replace my previous ones that got stolen (5,000 KES).
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment when I received my money I felt very pleased with myself since I always told people that GD would send us the money eventually and spoilers would be ashamed! My thrill was in the fact that the transfer would support me in buying new fishing nets because my previous nets got stolen and I actually got grounded for some time, thank you very much.
