Robert
received a $454 second payment.
"Life was very miserable before Give Directly intervened to my situation.For example feeding was so difficult in my household i that some days we could go hungry whole day which has change because I can afford to buy food. Farming was difficult as well because I could not hire land and labor. my child could have died because I did not have money for treatment but thanks to Give Directly the child went through a successful operation. Transportation was a hustle too but I have manged to purchase a bicycle and more so household items and finally I managed to clear a debt that I had acquired."
