Winny
received a $253 second payment.
"My life is currently different. We used to be low economically but GiveDirectly made our lives better. We now have a cow and a new house. No woes of the leaking roof of the previous house. I also have chairs and a table in the house. I no longer borrow chairs from neighbors like I used to when I had visitors. I bought the furniture courtesy of GiveDirectly and I am grateful."
