Support a Mother, Transform Two Lives

Over the past three months, at PAN, through the Support a Mother, Transform Two Lives program, we have continued to support 17 mothers who are working toward the well-being and future of their families. Through monthly financial support, we aim to provide resources that help them meet the needs of their households and their children.

But today, we want you to hear directly from them about how this project has transformed their lives. 

“When I joined the program, I was struggling emotionally. First of all, you have to love yourself. I had many problems and I didn’t love myself. And if I don’t love myself, how can I truly love and care for my children?

The first thing I did with the first payment was fulfill something I had wanted for a long time: to get a baby carrier for my son so I could carry him close to me. I also used the money for food, diapers, and transportation.

I have changed so much as a mother and as a person. I no longer let family problems affect me as much as they used to—that was one of the things that affected me most in my life. Before, I wasn’t very sociable. I didn’t enjoy much, I often felt down, and I didn’t like to smile. Now I smile all the time. I’m very happy, and I always keep in mind that if I’m doing well, my children are doing well too.

To everyone who has helped make this support possible, I want to say: I am deeply grateful for the wonderful work you do. May God bless you and repay your generosity many times over. You help me so much. God bless you.”
