received a $469 third payment.
"In my opinion, sending money through the phone is very safe and convinient unlike giving it in cash which is a security threat to both thhe organization and the recipient. I think follow up should be physical and not over the phone to be able to see the full effect of the transfer on individuals."

"In my own opinion, I am pleased with the fact that Give Directly sent us money directly and intact, however, I would plead with them to increase the amount from a 1000 US dollar so that we may be able to finish some of the projects we have underway."
