Dear Donor,
Since our last progress report, MCCF has received urgent news from the community leader: we must vacate our current land by the end of this year. Thankfully, we were able to secure land of our own in the past, but we have not yet been able to build on it.
Our current priority is to focus all efforts on raising funds to construct a new, permanent home for our children. We have recently cleared the land, and with your help, we hope to begin the first steps of building very soon.
In other hopeful news, our blind child Asina has been enrolled at St. Francis Boarding School for the Blind, where she is learning essential life skills. This will be life-changing for her, equipping her to live independently and with dignity as she grows into adulthood.
We are also grateful to share that MCCF has joined forces with the Ethical Vegan Community. Tony and Brenda are now working as a team to bring plant-based opportunities and support to impoverished families in nearby areas.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continued love, interest, and support for MCCF. If you would like to help us take the next step in this urgent project, we would deeply appreciate any contributions to:
From Borrowed to Belonging: MCCF's Emergency Home

With kind regards and heartfelt thanks,
Victoria
