What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on buying a motorcycle that my husband is using for taxi business. Previously my husband could do odd jobs an sometimes we could sleep on hungry stomachs if we do not get any income. That has changed as I also spent some of the money to start a business and we share the profits to sustain the family. I am great full for the transfers I received.
