Do you have any new or additional goals for your life for the next four months?
I do not have any goal but I desire to recover and be of good health once again. This will is desire. This will be achieved by eating healthy and avoiding hard labor.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life in the last four months preceding the current transfer.
I have been unwell for quite some time now and I doctor had recommended surgery to help improve my situation. This was costly and I did not have adequate resources. This is when the recent transfer came in handy. I was operated on and paid the entire charges that were required. Currently, I am recovering and doing much better than I was before thanks to GD.
How do you expect your life to change in the next six months?
In the next six months hopefully, I will have recovered and will be doing much better than I am today. I look forward to resuming my daily hustle then to help meet the household expenditure.
