No. I had no new goals before receiving this transfer.I am a farmer. During the harvest season, I take the produce from my farm to the market to sell. Most times we can hardly make money. We will then take it all back home and eat them. Things were not so well for my family. Our house has not been in a good condition. The roof leaks during rainy season. Because the Walls was dubbed with mud, some of the mud has fallen off leaving holes in the walls. We have always wanted to build a new house. We could not afford the funds to do so. I was so excited when I started receiving payments from GiveDirectly. Our lives has changed for the best.

In my opinion GiveDirectly does do anything wrongly. I has improved our lives so much. We are grateful for this opportunity. Our lives will never be the same again.

I was so happy when I received my money. I used some to buy gas. I also paid the contractors to saw some planks. Hopefully, I will be starting my building project soon.

I used my first and second transfer for three bundles of Zinc and kept the balance money for contractors payment.I been struggling because all of my children are far from me and no one to help with my daily meals. With this money from Givedirectly transfer, i am happy.

Givedirectly did well by changing my life through the money I received. I never expected such gift.The process went well.

With this money, i was able to paid for additional construction materials and awaiting the last transfer to start with the rehabilitation of my old house.Thank God that my life is getting better than before through the transfer.

My first transfer was use to buy two bundles of Zinc and one pack of Zinc nails. My recent transfer was use for additional one bundle of Zinc, one carton of nails and plant to roof/ improved my house. Since in my life, this is my first time in my village to own a Zinc house.Thanks to my helper Givedirectly for the future empowerment.

I appreciate Givedirectly for giving me money. I never received such assistance in my life. Givedirectly did well in all what was done. It was straight and fair.

My recent transfer was spent on Zinc, nails and plant to roof my old thatch house.my house is leaking especially doing the raining season. I been suffering for a decent sleeping place for a long time because my husband died and all of my children are out of the community.

I was on my farm cooking for my workers when my phone alarmed. I called my neighbor to please help me read and interprete the sound that my phone has make. He read the massage and said, is a massage from Givedirectly they send you money. I was so suprise until hot tears dropped from my eyes. I have never received such a huge amount of money in my entire life before. Getting this money is like a dream to me.I'm so happy! from that moment up to present am still happy. Life has been so hard for me i could barely eat except my neighbors cook and give me food. My children always wanted to to take to the city but i refused. All thanks to GiveDirectly for this great opportunity given.

The biggest difference in my daily life is am very relax. I no longer grieved like before. My greatest worried was how to feed myself and live in good condition. I never had money because, am a old widow living alone no one to help me. The only time I can get money except my children from Monrovia visit me. I never had the chance to communicate with my children and other family members through Givedirectly am able to communicate with them because, they give me phone and sim card. I'm so happy that i will soon be living in a zinc house, especially in my old age. I have struggle for too long just to earn my daily bread. At times,i used to get sick and i couldn't go to hospital because there was no money. I visited the hospital this gone friday. The doctor did all my test and conducted some laboratory test and treated me, and also give me additional drugs that will last with me for a longer time. All of these was done through the money i received from Givedirectly. I'm forever grateful to God for this program.

The money i received from Givedirectly was used to buy zinc, mattress ,and some other things. I'm planning of improving my house roof with some of the money. Some of the transfer was also used to hired people to do my farming work. The people that i hired, are paid on a daily wages.I feed on the harvest i get from my farm. I'm unable to carry my crops to various markets center to sell. My brother's son and his wife alway help me to sell my product. I'm very much grateful to Givedirectly for giving me the opportunity to live a comfortable life before our creator can call me.
