I hope my son gets well and also to complete my house project before next year

Givedirectly is helping us financially and making us self dependent

I spent most of my fourth transfer on buying house building materials and also paying for my son's treatment

"In the coming year, I hope that with these money from GiveDirectly, it will help my son seek good medical help. For the passed two years his life had been miserable due to the illness. Not much was done to help him seeked good medical attention due to lack of financial assistance. Therefore with this great help from GiveDirectly, I am praying and hoping that with these transfers my son will received the treatment needed. And my family will be happy again."

"In my opinion GiveDirectly has done a great job for us the needy. I can't imagine life without GiveDirectly especially this year. I was almost giving up on my son's health due to financials constraints. Every time I see him cried and I can't do anything to help him it breaks my heart so much. I am very hopeful that with the transfers I am receiving from GiveDirectly my son will get the treatment needed. Therefore in my view I have not seen anything that GiveDirectly is not doing quite well."

"Before I started receiving transfers from GiveDirectly, I was always hoping for this kind of opportunity that could help me take my son for proper medical treatment. For the passed two years he has been seriously ill to the extent that he can't even talk. This had brought so much sadness and worries to me as a Mother. Therefore my goal is to used my first and second transfers to take him to Ivory coast for a better treatment."

"When the money came I was not in town. I went to the next village, to haverst rice. My friend met on the high way, and told me about it. So I rushed home to check my phone. The moment I got home I saw my daughter dancing and I joined her to celebrate. My son been sick for 2 years now and cannot talk. His treatment was the first thing I thought on".

"I am very happy to get the money because I have been suffering with my son. I needed to carry him to Ivory Coast for treatment, but I never had money. Meanwhile, this money has given more courage to start the process. Seeing my son well is a great change. He started building his own house but since he got sick, he stopped. I am the only one taking care of him. So his well being is a great change"

I got the money and kept huge portion because, I'm planning on carrying my son to harbarlist. He has been sick for the past years. I used portion of the money to buy some medicines for him. I also used some to buy zinc, in order to change the roof of the house. Though my son is sick, but I need to change the roof of my house. I'm so happy that I have money that can help me start the 2 major processes.
