Jane
received a $477 third payment.
"As a parent life feels meaningless when you cannot give your child the life he/she deserves mainly (education) , my child had stayed home for one year as a school dropout due to lack of money hence I spent the larger part of my third transfer on paying school fees for her and now I am happy as she is almost completing her high school education. I also bought sofa set seats ."
