Selpher
received a $496 second payment.
"Before I got money from GD, I used to spend money to hire oxen from other people to plough my farm. Since I bought my own oxen, I've managed to save much money that I would have otherwise spent on farm expenses. The money saved has helped me a lot in daily household expenses."
