How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I'm going to have a better house than the one I have been living in. When I get better treatment, my health and life in general will be better. I now have a mattress and therefore sleeping well.
I thank GD for changing my life.
In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
GD has really had pity on me. Everything you do is good, I have nothing negative to comment against GD.
What did you spend your second transfer on?
I haven't spent my transfers, but I'm planning to spend it on building a house for my family because I am HIV positive. I will also devote some money on personal treatment and a few items like a mattress.
