What did you spend your second transfer on?
Give Directly visited me for the first time when I lived in a house without windows at all and proper doors. This is a house I had started constructing but halted half way since I never had any money to complete it but due to circumstances, I had to move in and therefore it was cold. So when I received my second transfer, I completed the construction of the house and now, I feel good living in a warm house.
