""The biggest hardship facing me and my family is money to provide my children with quality education that will help them become productive tomorrow. The bigger one is in 7th grade, the next in 5th grade, the younger ones are in 3rd grade and pre-school respectively. I too stopped in the 10th grade, but due to the lack of support, I have to dropped out of school and has since promised to educate my children so that they can not be like me. But with out money, I will not be able to achieve this dream. Therefore, any assistance that Givedirectly can give me to change me and my children life will be highly helpful"."

"The biggest difference in my daily life after receiving the first transfer is the joy of clearing all the debts that we had as a household. This has given me the courage to freely interact with the neighbors and the family members who had lent me some amount. It feels good waking up every morning without any fear of having a visitor who has just come that early to collect his debt. I am grateful and hope that such a huge debt will not come to us again going forward."
