Joyce
received a $537 initial payment.
"We are generally living in a changed environment since we received the transfers. I can attest to the fact that, the two oxen and the new house we are constructing for my children in our household and soon coming to an existence in our household are equally big, but the joy-filled family we now have is the biggest difference I never anticipated in my life."
