Jane's family
access_time almost 7 years ago
Jane received a $459 third payment.
"I have been making mats to enable me meet my family needs and I had to meet and pass the risks involved, more so when getting into the water to cut the reeds which has not been so easy specifically when the levels are so high and you to stand the risk of drowning. So, when I received my second transfer, I made a fishing boat. The remaining amount I added to my third transfer and bought an engine for driving the boat. I now have my own boat and no longer have to get into the water which was life threatening. I make daily profits."
