Ruth
received a $97 initial payment.
"My co- wife was having my phone at that time when the money was sent and she came running and gave me my phone hence communicated the good news to me and upon getting this wonderful news, I felt very happy since I was certain of having enough food to feed on with my family since the economy has been high and getting food has been a problem for a while now . I am thankful to GiveDirectly for coming to my household's rescue since food is a necessity to a human life and not having it this may bring misery."
