Bentar
received a $494 second payment.
"I was initially living in a smaller house where I could get it even hard to dress up or change my clothing since we were sharing the rooms with the rest of my family members and this could rob me my privacy, however when I got the transfers and built a house with more rooms, we have been able to live with privacy that each of us deserve in our household, the biggest difference in our daily life."
