Giving Thanks. Sharing Hope.
*names have been changed to protect the identities of families
November 15, 2026
Earlier this month, we shared the heartbreaking story of a family we have supported for years—a devoted mother, hardworking father, and their six children who once struggled to survive in a single, cramped room. Through your generosity, their lives began to change. The children received food, clothing, medical care, and educational opportunities. The two oldest completed school and found employment, while their younger siblings began excelling in their studies.
After years of hardship, this family was finally beginning to thrive. Then tragedy struck. Their father suffered a fatal heart attack, leaving a grieving mother and six children facing an uncertain future. Once again, Francisc and his team are standing beside them with practical assistance, compassion, and encouragement.
This Thanksgiving, we are especially grateful for you. Your generosity reminds families like this one that they are not forgotten. As we look ahead to Christmas, our goal is to provide gifts for 200 children in our support program. Imagine the joy of a child receiving a gift chosen especially for them—a reminder that they are loved, remembered, and valued.
