Getting Food to the Widows

By Merry Broughal | Project Leader

Thanks to your support, there are widows, most raising orphans, that no longer have homes empty of all food.

Thanks to your support there are widows no longer begging for food in the villages or asking their neighbors for food once again.

Being elderly and poor, too frail to work, all hope can be lost when the ability to provide for the family isn’t possible.

Eighty-year-old widow Sara is disabled. She struggles to walk and depends on the neighbors give her food.  That doesn’t always happen and when it doesn’t, she just doesn't eat.

Grandmother Maggie is now trying to support her five orphaned grandchildren. The children range from toddler to early teens. While most ot the children are in school, Maggie is home caring for the littlest one. She isn't able to work so having enough food for the family isn't possible.

Today, thanks to your support, widows and orphans are being fed. They’re not going to bed hungry and trying to sleep with grumbling stomachs keeping them awake. This is all thanks to you and your generous support.

Each month a food package is delivered to those homes.  The homes that need it the most.

Thank you.  Thank you for caring for others who are struggling to survive.

Your support brings back hope to families who were losing hope and now they are no longer going to bed hungry.

Thank you…

Merry
