Florence
received a $97 initial payment.
"I received the money while at my relative funeral service, I felt very happy since I was not expecting it at that time as I used to think that GiveDirectly is like other organisations with false promises but from that day I received the money I surely believed that GiveDirectly truly fulfills its promises and its an objective oriented organisation and I will forever be a pioneer of Givedirectly at all levels and angles."
