Pamela
received a $619 second payment.
"I used part of my second transfer both a cow and an ox. I did this because I always get challenge when it comes to ploughing so the ox will help in sloughing while the cow will be providing me milk. I also bought bedding for my children because they used to sleep on ground on papyrus mat which I found risky because at times they could be bitten by ants."
