I used my transfer to pay secondary school fees for my children (30000), paid a hospital bill for my husband (10000) and bought two goats (8000).
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I Thank GD so much for supporting me to pay fees for my child in the final year of secondary school, she was going to stay home and probably miss sitting for final exams because the dad was ill and stayed out of work for a while. He also got treatment and is feeling better now.
