"My life would have been terrible if not for the transfer. I lost my house and other household items in 2018 due to floods since then, I have never been at peace. I tried working as a house girl in the city even doing a business but nothing gave me enough money to construct a house. The has helped me to have a nice and we'll structured house that I couldn't manage but only dreamed of. I now have an iron sheet roofed house. Thanks alot to GD for the cash gift."
