Sarah
received a $264 initial payment.
"While getting ready to go on my farm to do my normal routine, I heard noise from the nearby houses. I called my husband to find out what was happening. When he came back, he said GD money is here! I hurriedly ran to get my phone from the corner of my kitchen where I usually keep it and saw the message frim Givedirectly.
I shouted with laughter and tears started running from my eyes. I happily ran to finish the work, and in no time, I completed it because I was too energised."
