Mary
received a $473 third payment.
"I spent my third transfer to buy cement , sand ,paid hospital bills and have kept the remaining money for further use (paying wages) once the plastering of the house is finished. I used most of my third transfer on plastering my house with sand and cement because i live in an area that is affected by rains,every time it rains the mud that we smear on our walls are often washed a way , plastering it would give me peace of mind not having to worry about the aftermath of the rains."
