I really can't describe the feeling but I was ecstatic. I felt a happiness in my heart I haven't done before and I am so very grateful to Givedirectly for putting in the program.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life since you started receiving payments from GiveDirectly.
I already see the difference as it right now even though I have only received the transfer recently. The fact that I am actually able to build a house is something I never thought would ever be possible.
What did you spend your most recent transfer(s) on?
I have my own house but I plan on building another one with my transfer. I have an extended family and I would like to move into my new house when it is built a d let my family move into the one I currently am in now.
