Anjelina
received a $484 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I'm relieved from frustrations which I used to undergo. First, my son has been sick for a very long period of time but could take him for medication due to financial challenges but now he is on his feet after getting proper medication courtesy of GD transfer. A Part from that, it used to pain me as a mother to see my son whose wife was held up by her parents due to unpaid dowry frustrated in life. In fact after settling the dowry his spouse came back immediately and now my bigger family live in peace and harmony."
