Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My house was incomplete without fascia boards, verander and was not painted. So after I got this money, I was able to install the fascia boards, construct a verandah and paint it. The house now looks more beautiful and everyone admires it which brings pride to my family. In addition to that I have peace of mind and happiness because I managed to clear all my debts and claim ownership of my land.
