The biggest difference in my life is that a few months ago, I was in a desperate situation and very hopeless, almost homeless and believe you me, I would sleep with my body inside the house and part of my legs outside since the house was very small, door less and too old and I always felt endangered .Thank you very much GD since the transfers enabled me to put up a decent 1-roomed house and I even have food to eat these days.
