"The biggest difference in my life is that now I can sleep well on a mattress with a warm blanket. The money I got from GD, i spent to buy a mattress, blanket and food. These were the major challenges that we had but now I and my family are happy spending on a mattress unlike before when we were spending a night on a cow skin."
