received a $484 second payment.
"I could have not paid fees for my child or bought iron shhets for building in future if I never received the transfer from GD. This is the biggest difference in my life because I am now working on new goals rather than being worried of educating my daughter."

received a $484 second payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I'm free from attack by fleas. When my floor was earth, it used to hold a lot of fleas which used to cause discomfort by their vigorous bites. I had to put up with them because I had no better means of managing them but since I got the transfer, I'm done with them through cementing the floor of my house."
