Bread for Life continues to be excited about the various avenues of giving and meeting needs in which we partake. Thinking through our latest successes and challenges, it's become clear that focus and revision are necessary to our "reach". One of the unique opportunities that has arisen is working with those in the disabled community. In Thailand, there are limited and often, no resources, for those born with special needs. Children with disabilities are considered "less than" and regularly put up for adoption because of the social stigma as well as the limited resources families have to take care of them.
Bread for Life is partnering and looking to expand its relationship with those who are disabled in addition to their families. One specific family, shown here, is helped monthly with feeding tubes, sanitation supplies, and the food needed for this young gal. Some of the necessary items are either not available or extremely expensive and must be imported from other countries. Bread for life is a key component in making this happen. Additionally, Bread for Life maintains relationship with the family working hard to validate the choices and sacrifices the family makes to unconditionally love and provide for her.
As we continue to meet the needs of the impoverished, the Bread for Life team is encouraged by this defined direction. it is allowing us to expand the use of food to meet needs to underprivileged communities.
