"I hardly ever get messages late at the evening, so when I received a message notification around 5 p.m., I was curious. When I checked, I was overjoyed to see that Give Directly had sent me the transfer as promised. I thanked God for the gift support from GiveDirectly so that that was going to transform many households. I was overjoyed because I knew I would finally be able to complete all the set goals. "
