What did you spend your third transfer on?
Ok, I used my third transfer to renovate my main house. When Give Directly visited me for the first time, my house looked very bad and I felt embarrassed, however, when I received the money, I painted the house and plastered its walls and floor. I think no one can believe that it is the same house I lived in back then!
