"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now mingle freely with confidence among my peers because I have a descent house that they also admire, unlike before when I was the laughing stock of the village due to my old dilapidated house that had big stains of rain water on the inner walls as evidence of a leaking roof!! I will forever remain grateful to Give Directly...May God bless you."
