Moses
received a $267 initial payment.
"I was helping one of neighbors to dobbs his house when my wife came to me with the phone that GiveDirectly gave me for me to read the message in the phone. I washed my hands and opened the inbox massage. The amount I saw in the phone was unbelievable. I shouted blood of Jesus because this is the first time in my life to see this amount of money. To receive forty thousand three hundred seventy five dollars free without working for it is a heaven sent opportunity. That hold day the smile on my face could not finish and my wife was dancing until she went back to the house after I told her that the message that came to the phone is the payment from GiveDirectly."
