Lawrence
received a $468 third payment.
"My third transfer has been facilitating the burial ceremony of my mother-in-law. It is unfortunate that the money came when we had lost our loved one but it has made our work easier. All processes had gone through very well. In fact it covered us from shame since we had managed to take care of all our visitors who came to mourn with us."
