What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer to buy seats to place in my house since I did not have any and I was sitting on water containers. I also bought a new mattress, blankets and a bed which I did not have before so now I can sleep comfortably. The remaining amount was spent on buying food and shoes.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my life is that I have acquired the things that I seriously needed in my house to make it decent and comfortable to live in. I am not ashamed anymore to invite my friends to my house because I have seats they can sit on and I can buy food to cook.
