Tsetseg is a 12-year-old girl, a sixth grade student who lives with her parents and grows up as the oldest with 2 brothers and 1 sister. In her family, two brothers are studying at the primary school in Grade 2 and 4, and the youngest sister goes to the kindergarten currently.
“I had my four fingers on my left hand cut off years ago and also my wife diagnosed with a mental illness, it was really a difficult time for me and my family got into trouble with the finances afterwards. My family has started to receive the family assistances through TFCF Mongolia branch service since 2017. I am grateful to have TFCF help us find a job and both my wife and I work for coal packing in winters. However, we are unable to have our own ger but living at the borrowed and old ger due to the situation of low income. As a father, I feel sorry that I cannot give my children a good living space or enough food.
My heartfelt thanks to you all for the great donation through TFCF specialized and effective aid programs. In these years, TFCF care and serve us closely, furthermore, give us a home, our own ger at this moment. Because of your support, all of my children have a clean, warm and safe environment to grow up. Thank you very much! I will keep working hard and be a good father to my children.”

Non-stop service
The coronavirus is now spreading all over the world and the Mongolian government has announced to close all schools and kindergartens starting from January 27 to the end of April because Mongolia is bordered by China. All children are not allowed to go out and many parents are going to face unemployment suddenly. The request of our project has been increased rapidly, and there are around 40 families applied our project. TFCF has supported two families by building a new ger. We hope we can maximize into 7 families, and assist 6 families to repair their gers.
We understand that this is a truly global crisis and we will do our best to keep the project moving forward because of your support! Wish all of our assisted families and children to overcome the coronavirus crisis! I also hope all of you are safe and healthy in your country, and it is really hard to face such a difficult situation in the world. I am willing to see your feedback and tell us how you are doing there. Let us pray to God, who alone makes us dwell in safety.
I wish you, your family and friends, the very best of health.
With gratitude,
Wen Hung
