How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I have owned a motor bike that does transportation business which is generating income for the general running of my family(money for medical bills and food), I wouldn't have owned this a motor bike had I not received money from Give Directly.
