What did you spend your second transfer on?
Since I lost 45000 KES to the rogue Mpesa urgent, I remained with 5000 KES which I spent on a blanket and 2 new bed sheets. I never had proper bedding and I am now glad that I sleep warmly and more comfortably.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My main house has ceased to be a hall. We have sufficient furniture, a sofa set where my family members and visitors sit on more comfortably. And this has liberated me from shame, I am no longer living a community laughing stock-currently, I live with pride.
