"I have desired to own an iron-roofed house for myself because the one I currently have is grass thatched and old fashioned. During rain seasons, I am rained on and this does not give me nice sleep. My plan once I receive the money is to spend $300 to construct the house something that will give me peace of mind. Also, I am planning to spend $150 to buy a modern bed plus a mattress to replace the local roped one that I have been using for a long time. This will change my life for the better, a transformation that I have always wished to have."
