I aspire to purchase a car, which will serve as a vital tool in my quest to earn a living and provide for my family. With this vehicle, I plan to venture into the transportation business, offering my services for hire. It will be a remarkable upgrade from my current situation, opening up new opportunities for financial growth and stability. I believe that with hard work, dedication, and the right investment, this car will become a gateway to success, empowering me to overcome obstacles and achieve the life I've always dreamed of.

The cash transfer was delivered directly into my phone, which was incredibly convenient and efficient. With no strings attached, I was given the freedom to use the funds in a way that best suited my needs and aspirations. This unconditional money transfer has been a true lifeline, allowing me to address immediate concerns and invest in my future without unnecessary restrictions.

First and foremost, I used $180 to clear a debt I owed to a friend. This had been a source of constant worry and stress, but now I could finally breathe freely and regain my peace of mind. With the weight of debt lifted off my shoulders, I could focus on building a brighter future for my family. The next step was investing in a dairy cow, spending around $150 on it. This decision promised a steady supply of milk for domestic use and the potential for commercial purposes. As my dairy business grew, it would offer a reliable income stream and contribute to a stable livelihood for my family. Additionally, I repaired my motorcycle, which had broken down earlier and had been my primary source of income. With it back in working order, I could resume my transportation services and provide for my family's needs. Lastly, I made sure to buy clothes and food for my three family members. Seeing them well-fed and clothed filled my heart with happiness and gratitude.

The day when the transfers were sent, I was at home, but I had left my phone charging in the nearby shop, so when I saw the message in the morning, I was overwhelmed with happiness. I pictured myself paying the arrears on the land on which we have been living for a while now without paying the full amount.

I am now a landowner with no debt, and this alone has made all the difference. In addition, we will be able to move into a house that's bigger than what we are now living in and convert this to a kitchen in no time. I am now able to sell several types of alcohol, something I was unable to do when I first established this business, and I am grateful to givedirectly for providing me with this chance to progress in my business. I'm also looking forward to expanding my herd of cattle and goats.

I paid $25 to pay off a debt I had on the land we were already inhabiting, and it felt great to know that the land now belongs to me and my family without the risk of being evicted at any moment by the owner. We had a one-roomed mud home on the same land that was too small to even invite a family member or a guest, so we used the transfers to buy all the supplies needed to build a four-roomed house with a balcony. Even if the house we intend to build is still built of mud, we will be content as a family since we will have enough room and at least a respectable house with steel roofing. I've put aside $12 to buy a female calf and rear it until it's old enough to breed and produce milk, which we will sell and earn us some money to pay our expenses.
