"My daughter passed on and left me with six children to raise it has been very hectic but GD has helped me buy food and pay school fee for them, I am so thankful and just wish this transfers could come to me on a monthly basis, my grandchildren's life and mine could change because they would study without fear and food would never be an issue. I thank God for GD."
