Nobody would not wish to employ her and life has always been so challenging financially and socially. with the transfer, she has managed to buy kitchen materials such as plates, pots, spoons etc things that seems so easy to have but she could not manage to buy. She has now good church clothes were as before, she had two dresses which she wore through out the week, month or year."
