Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment when I received my money I was thrilled since God had answered my prayer through GD. It happens that I am raising 3 children who are orphans and will be seating their final primary examination at the end of the year and I have no regular income of my own to support them, but with the GD transfer I knew I could invest in something that would help me raise their Secondary school fee in future
