"I want to construct a new house for my family and I. The one we currently live in is too small and uncomfortable. I live with my husband and two living children. Our house roof is made of thatch that leaks everytime it rains. Imagine everytime when it rains my husband and I have to place buckets in the ceiling to prevent the rain from wetting our things. That's why I am saving this third transfer received to fill it out with the fourth transfer. So that I can have enough of money to construct a bigger and better house."
