The moment I received my money I felt so happy that I had thank God and blessed GD to go ahead with work.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent most of my first transfer to pay school fees for my three children who are in boarding secondary school. This is because I had nothing else to sell to continue to educate them also, their father died and I have no where to get the money.
I also bought a set of stools since I had none.
