What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on buying a plot of land on which i am to construct a house for my family. I did this because after my husband abandoned my children(7) and I, we started living with my brother but I knew it was temporary and he would ask me to leave his house at any time so I wanted to get a permanent shelter for my children.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
Under several occasions I regretted why I had bared many children(7) for my ex- husband since I could not afford to take care of them without the help of their father but with the transfers, i have managed to secure land and also a business that provides me with daily income with which I can take care(provide them with the basic needs and also pay their fees) of my children without worrying so that is the biggest difference in my daily life.
