Dominic
received a $524 second payment.
"My life is currently different because we have a new house and a cow courtesy of GiveDirectly. We did not have these prior to GD, now we do and we are grateful. There are numerous GiveDirectly cows in our village. Almost every homestead has a cow because they bought cows using their funds from GD. Cows lately fill rivers in our village when people take them for watering. Initially they were countable."
