"Our first plan is to use part of the transfer to contribute tithe to the church and buy furniture. Secondly, we plan to use another part to buy motorcycle because currently, my husband is employed by someone as a motorcycle transporter and what he earns can't sustain us, so we would like to have our own. Lastly, we intend to start a small business for fish selling to boost our income."
