I sleep well nowadays and my heart is filled with joy and happiness. No stress over farm land and above all I have never got ulcers in my life since benefiting from Give Directly.

Give Directly did well to send me money because no one has ever given me these kind of money Since I was born. If it wasn't of Give Directly, I would die without laying my hands on a million shillings.
