Isaac
received a $453 second payment.
"I spent my second transfer on buying a cow at 500,000 ugx such that it can help me in the future when it calves and I am able to sell of some of its calves to solve future uncertainty.
Then I also bought iron sheets at 400,000 ugx that I am going to use to roof my house such that I can survive the issue of a lacking where to sleep since the house I use is for my brother who is in Sudan.
I also bought some household items that will help me to start off when I shift to my house as it gets complete.
Still keeping the balance to finalize the construction work of my house.
