"I bought 20 iron sheets, 1 biscycle, 2 fertiliser and 3 bags of maize."

"I have spent the transfer on mattress, iron sheets, 2 bags of fertiliser, 3 bags of maize, clothes for my children and groceries."

"With the money I bought bags of cement since my house was full of dust I needed to do floor, I paid those that did the work, I bought matress, for some time I was sick so I had loan which I used to pay for my bills so with the money I repaid and i also bought food"

"I now own a smart phone. I can talk to my friends who are in South Africa on Whatsap and also be on tbe internet"

"I had no matress and ironsheets and now with the transfer, I have managed to buy them"

"This was a moment of laughter, joy, excitement and thanksgiving. It was a moment I will never forget because it has defined the course and survival of my household."

"I Was so excited when I received the transfer and I'm still excited I couldn't believe it and I'm so grateful for this."

"i used to do piece works in order to find food for my family. some days we could sleep on an empty stomach because of unavailability of food in the house. from the day i received my transfer, my family has been having enough food to eat each day and i have been having enough time to concentrate on my own activities."

"I have lived full of dreams and most of all having my family live in a secure, ample and pleasant home. I am a farmer and raising enough from my farming to cater for all the family needs has been challenging thus I had prioritized my children's educations. I have a single doubled roomed house that cannot accommodate us comfortably and making it worse is we can spend a night together with my grown-up children under this single roof. The biggest difference in my daily life is the happiness of looking at building materials that I have assembled courtesy of GiveDirectrly. I am assured that soon I will build a new decent house for my family. This will allow me to accommodate my family within thus avoiding the risk of walking at night to my parents' home. I feel relaxed and happy that my dreams are soon come to be."

"The moment that i received the message that i have received money from Givedirectly I was very happy and very grateful and still i am gratefull up to now feo such a huge gift."
