Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I had a heavy fee burden, world vision promised to support my child in high school, i have never seen them till now, CRS promised to support my child in college but they never kept their word, so support from GD has enabled me clear fee balance and my children are learning peacefully. My ballast business is also doing well and earning large profits. I am so relieved and thankful to GD
