received a $462 third payment.
"What Give Directly does well is sending us money in lumpsum which ensures that we don't misuse it but I would urge it increases this amount by adding us more money-what we were given was never enough."

Florence
received a $465 third payment.
"In my opinion, what Give Directly does well is educating us about the transfers before we receive it but what it never did well was giving us less transfers that could not enable us accomplish bigger projects."

Teresa
received a $462 third payment.
"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer because I can now afford a square meal, which has improved my health, as opposed to before when I was struggling to earn a living. And again, I moved from an earthed house to a cemented one where life has become easier; I don't need to smear it constantly to maintain its state and this is a great relief to me."
