4 5. I am transferring 251 monthly payments of $875.00, commencing on 1/25/2024
5 through and including 11/25/2044. If approved, I will receive $70,000.00 from the transaction.
6 6. When the original settlement was completed, the future period payment(s) that are the
7 subject of the proposed transfer were not intended to pay for the future medical care and treatment
8 relating to the incident that was the subject of the settlement. The settlement was monetary in its
9 entirety.
10 7. When the original settlement was completed, the future periodic payments that are the
11 subject of the proposed transfer were solely monetary in nature and were not intended to provide for

21 received from the proposed settlement to purchase a new home. Owning a home provides a sense of
22 stability and security. It is a long-term investment that not only serves as a place of residence but also
23 as a financial asset that can appreciate over time. The monthly mortgage payments on a home are often
24 comparable to or even lower than monthly rental costs. Additionally, homeownership may offer tax
25 benefits and equity buildup, contributing to long-term financial stability. purchasing a home allows
26 me to establish roots in a community. This commitment fosters a sense of belonging, contributing
27 positively to my overall well-being and mental health. The decision to purchase a home is also
28 influenced by the desire to provide a stable and comfortable environment for my family.
