Gideon
received a $98 initial payment.
"I am planning to spend the larger part of my second transfer on enrolling my child in a high school since he has just finished her primary education this year in the month of November. I am also planning to buy a dairy cow to get milk from it through this my family and I can drink milk on a daily basis hence balance diet. At the moment I can take almost two weeks before buying milk because of split priorities ahead of me. "
