What do you plan to do with the cash transfer?
Am planning on starting up an agricultural business whereby can buy and sell bananas and also coffee based on their seasons of the year. I am planning on investing about $555 on this business so that I can get returns and take my children to school.

Currently been facing a lot of challenges as I have just been released from prisonl about three weeks ago so it's alof trying to catch up with family and all activities around.
