Serfina
received a $536 initial payment.
"The very morning that the transfers were sent I was facing a financial crisis. I could not provide breakfast for my family because the previous's day hustle did not fetch enough money. The little I had was spent on supper. As I was staring at my phone thinking of who to call to ask for money I received a message indicating that I had received a sum KES 55000 from GD. I broke into tears of joy for I knew all my problems were finally going to be solved. All I can say is Long live GD for transforming my life."

Jared
received a $22 eighth payment.
"I expect my life to change within the next six months because my aim now is to buy a cow that I will be milking which means that I will no longer be buying milk from vendors. The more the cows will give birth, the more the money I will make when I sell them out."
