Joice
received a $22 eighth payment.
"I expect to own a cow in the next six months. This will be a reminder of the help that GD is sending us. It will give us milk for consumption and sale. I also intend to use the merry go round funds that I am a member to buy chairs. I frequently get visitors and the few we have are not enough, I feel we need some more."

GiveDirectly funds have indeed helped us and we are grateful."
