It is evident that my life is different now, I lost my job due to my sickness, I had to sell most of my properties to enable me to seek further medical care. Times are hard therefore the friends that I could depend on were also struggling to make ends meet on their side, I was helpless and the only remaining option was for me to sell a piece of my land. Fortunately, I received my transfer, meaning that I no longer needed to sell my Land, The transfer also helped me in paying back my debts. I am so happy that GiveDirectly came to my aid, May God continues to strengthen the work of the organisation that has impacted all our lives without asking anything in return.

GiveDirectly has impacted the lives of so many people positively in my village, the process is transparent and they keep to their promises.

I have been battling with a medical condition that has drained all of my finances, I wanted to sell a piece of land so that I could look for advanced medical care, When the transfer came I no longer needed to sellout my land, instead, I used Ksh 25,000 in settling the debts that had accrued, I also managed to buy a parcel of land too worth Ksh 25,000, the first transfer settled my medical expenses.

Receiving the transfer was a great turn of events in our household. It brought back the hope of owning back our small piece of land which was up for sale at that period. We were really thankful that we would at least see our debts settled once more, and extra cash to visit the hospital for a check-up after ensuring that all the household goods were in place.

The biggest difference in my daily life is the renewed hope of seeing a doctor at the appointed time once more after failing quite a several times before. It has been hard sticking to the doctor's note since in most cases, I had to struggle to get the consultation and medical fees which had always been a requirement in every visit. Since I received the transfers, I have managed to attend a comprehensive check-up and added the medicines which were almost running out of stock.

Having been anaemic for quite some time, seeking medical attention from the hospital has been so straining not only to my immediate household but also to my parents and relatives. I had been surviving on fund drives which not everyone in the village was willing to always participate in giving. At some point, we opted to obtain a soft loan from a friend with the option of selling out a piece of family land to pay him back. Upon receiving the transfers, it was quite a relief to us all. We managed to clear the debt which stopped the plans to sell a piece of land, I also obtained 24 iron sheets which we are looking forward to using in the construction f a new house, attended and paid for the medical check-up, and also bought foodstuff for the household with the remaining amount.
