I always felt end month was coming up so fast as every time the landlord was at my door with a padlock asking for his rent. I was staying in a rented house and I could not raise the rent, Most of the time we could be locked out and my children could sleep in the neighbors houses so, when I received my third transfer, I bought building materials that I used to build my own house. I never imagined that the only concern I would have is to look for food, without having fear of approaching the landlord and bearing all the insults when he visited. I have a house now. My own house, no more landlord visits!!!!!

When I received my second transfer, I took 10000 KES from it to clear the school fees balance for my child in secondary school so that he is not sent home for the same. I then bought 30 iron sheets and a lorry of clay soil in readiness for constructing my new house since we stay in a marshy area with weak soils and my current house is dilapidated and leaks so much when it rains. The balance was spent on buying 2 sacks of dry maize and other foodstuffs for my family because we did not have enough food in the house.

The biggest biggest difference in my daily life is that I was able to pay my child's fee arrears, thus have had no pressure and stress seeing him sent home for fees as it used to be before.

I spent the token transfer on buying new chairs to replace the old plastic chairs that had before, I also bought 2 bags of maize for food supplement.

I was very happy because I already planned on how to spent the money without any regret letter.
