"Receiving the first transfer left me overwhelmed with happiness, unsure of whom to thank at that moment. The struggles my family of six endured to secure basic household goods were huge for us, and the idea that someone unknown would step forward to offer financial support seemed unimaginable. From the challenges of obtaining water to ensuring my children had enough food, life has been incredibly difficult. However, this moment brought hope to our household. The relief that came with receiving the money meant I could finally provide for all the needs of my five children. Since I was alone when I received the news, I had to wait until my children returned from school in the evening to share the excitement with them. After two days, I collected the money from the nearby shopping center, ready to put it toward the planned needs."

"The challenges I've faced with finances have driven me to explore investment opportunities in poultry and livestock. I hold a positive outlook that as they multiply, I'll have the opportunity to generate income through future sales. The proceeds will be dedicated to fulfilling my family's needs. I am deeply grateful for the assistance provided through these transfers, as they are instrumental in reshaping my life for the better."
