Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I never imagined in my life that I would ever have a spacious house due to my extreme poverty , but because of GD I have achieved this. In addition , my son used to be depressed because his tiny house leaked whenever it rained, but of late he has a lot of joy since I build a new house for him. God bless you GD for making these things possible in our lives.
