"Before this program, things were difficult for me because there was no job to do due to my condition. I can not do farm work because I had accident and broke my right leg; but because of Givedirectly, I am now a boss of my own. I have money to pay people to do work for me. I do not have to depend on people everyday to eat or do other things, "my money is now speaking for me". This is the change Givedirectly has brought to my daily life."
