What did you spend your third transfer on?
I have two children in secondary school. I have a relative who used to support me in school fees payment, so when I received my third transfer, I spent most of my third transfer on paying the fees. I did not have to borrow from her. My relative was even surprised that I did not ask her for any money this time around. The remaining I spent on starting a tailoring business where I get daily income to support my family.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I plan to spend the transfers on starting my own business for a stable source of income to support the needs of my family especially education.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is that I have had the strength to struggle beyond the hurdles I face to ensure my children are in school.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship is getting a job since people have overwhelmed the few opportunities and most cases I miss to secure any making it hard to earn my living.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The only part of the day I can be happy of is only during church service which is on Sundays for that is when I can get an encouraging word of God's assurance. The rest of the days are hard with worries on how to earn my living.
