"Before I started receiving money from GD I was selling clothes but it wasn't doing well because I didn't have enough stock. I have therefore been restocking the business with the GD transfers including the recent transfer. I'm happy the business is now stable and I'm getting good profit from it. Part of the money I paid for my child's school fee who is in pre-school so that I could reduce the amount of money she owed the school. I also saved a portion of the money for future use."
