"The moment when I received my money I almost cried since at that moment we had not eaten for 2 days and were hungry yet I had no money, and also my bulls had died because of drought and I had no way of cultivating my land unless I used my hands but yet when I went to the shamba to dig that morning I almost collapsed due to lack of energy, and had no option but to return home and pray for a miracle. Thank you GD for the miracle of the transfer because we were able to buy food, and I also hired a Tractor that prepared our land on which we planted crops and we hope for a good harvest."
