Chepkemoi
received a $484 initial payment.
"I spent part of the transfer, that is, KES 10000 on paying a debt that I owed someone and on buying some food. I have not yet spent the rest of the money since I am planning to combine it with the money from the second transfer and use it in seeking medical attention. I am suffering from fibroids and I want to go for a check-up and treatment on the same. I haven't been able to seek medical attention since I didn't have the money needed. I am casually employed as a teacher in the nearby school and the money that I am getting paid most of it usually goes to the payment of my college fees. I usually go for my college studies when school are closed. I am thus grateful to GiveDirectly for their help."
