"My mother-in-law had passed on and we were on our way to the mortuary when I received a message notification on my phone. My spouse had it since I was mentally unstable due to the shock of the bad news concerning the death of our mother. I became so happy when he informed me of the good news and despite having lost my mother, this money gave me hope and made me smile on that day."

"On receiving my transfer, I spent KES 30000 to buy a dairy cow. I settled on this since buying milk has been my routine and I usually spend KES 30 daily on them. I am now a happy person since owning one will enable me to save the money I would have otherwise used on milk when it reproduces and my family will also have enough milk for sale. In addition, I spent KES 5000 on a bed and mattress since the ones I had were old, KES 2400 on utensils, and used KES 12000 on food and other household necessities."
