Dear Supporter,
Thank you for supporting our project and giving abandoned babies and newborns a better chance in life.
Over our many years of service, we have encountered mothers forced to leave their children in hospital because of a disability, fathers leaving families when a child has health problems, and toddlers found alone on the streets. It is especially painful to see poverty separate mothers from babies they desperately want to raise. Yet we have also seen mothers find the courage and strength to support their families, even after a partner has left.
One mother faced this situation after her baby was born. He was very weak, and there were signs that he might not be able to walk. When his father left the family, she was left to care for a baby with additional needs, without a job, money or the skills to find work. She felt overwhelmed and struggled with her mental health.
Our partner, Family Love, was there for her, providing essentials, helping her find a place to live and offering psychological support and reassurance that she was not alone. This helped her regain hope and rediscover the joy she had felt at becoming a mother.
Her baby grew stronger, and the minor disability affecting his leg has not stopped him from attending school or exercising. He is now a strong boy, and he and his mother share a close bond. She received food, baby clothes and baby food when she needed them most, followed by access to a course to help her find a job. Today, she works full-time and provides for herself and her son.
Her story shows how love, kindness and the right support can help a family flourish.
Our work with families goes beyond meeting their immediate needs; we help them build confidence and move towards independence. Family Love regularly organizes seminars and support groups for mothers, giving them the knowledge, encouragement and practical skills needed to raise their children in a loving, stable and secure environment. For many mothers, these sessions are a vital source of support and reassurance that they are not facing life's challenges alone. They help parents build brighter futures for their children and ensure they can grow up in a safe, nurturing and caring environment.
Recently, together with Family Love, we provided baby food to families who are struggling. Your support helps make this work possible.
Thank you for giving vulnerable babies a brighter future and helping keep families together.
With gratitude,
ChildAid to Eastern Europe
