How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?

In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
Give Directly has restored my hope, and I'm grateful for that. Seeing myself becoming a house owner is something that seemed impossible for me in the past. It is all becoming a reality because God stepped in through GD and I'm grateful for such a privilege given me.
