How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?

If not Givedirectly,I think I could be homeless by now. Paying rent was real an issue to me but I'm grateful for the support from Givedirectly.

How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?

Had it not been the financial help from GiveDirectly, I wouldn't have been able to pay for my house rent on time and also buying food for my family. I am happy now that despite the biting effects of job losses due to this pandemic, I am at peace with my landlord. I have also done a shopping on foodstuffs for my family.
