"I had just retired to bed after a hard day's work. Shortly before sleep could catch up with me I took my phone to just check if there could have been any messages sent to me during the day and that could have escaped my attention. I was so surprised to find a message from GiveDirectly that I had received money. For a long time I could not sleep. I was so full of joy and happiness in my heart. I could not wait for the next day to come for me to tell my husband of the good news. When morning came, I called my husband and shared the good news with him. He was so much full of joy too and he helped me in planning on how to spend the money thus received."
