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

Receiving this money attracts a great difference in my life because I will be much relieved from the agony and stress that I have been facing on how to fend for my family.

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

My life is now better than it would have been if I had never received the transfer because I am now at peace as my family can have food.. Previously I used to be so stressed up not knowing where to get money to fend for my family since most of the days I go to work but return home empty handed due to lack of daily income due low or no sales.Thanks to GiveDirectly chipping in.
