I went and bought 3 bags of fertilizer for my garden as I did not have any fertilizer before . I bought 5 of maize us I had run out of maize for my home. I went on to buy groceries for my home as we did any essential groceries.
I also went and gave some of the money to my children to buy some clothes as they did not have any decent clothes."
