Having the knowledge of how Give Directly has changed so many lives it was a moment of my life to be changed and be a testimony to others. Even with the rumours around it being Illuminati i personally felt happy and accepted it. Being widow raising children is not easy. My life will change now that i will be able to open a small business to sustain me.
