Give the gift of Food and Hope this Christmas
As we celebrate the Christmas season, it’s a time for reflection, gratitude, and generosity. I want to thank you for your faithful support over the years, which has helped transform lives and bring hope to families in need. This year marks my tenth year with Speroway, and it has been my privilege to lead our mission to provide a hopeful way forward for children and families facing unimaginable hardships.
In countries where we work, like Haiti, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Kenya, and Malawi, families are struggling.
Sophie, a single mother in Malawi, has endured years of hardship trying to grow food on her small plot of land. The unpredictable rains and poor soil leave her struggling to feed her family. Last year, her heartbreak deepened when her daughter, Grace, passed away from complications of malnutrition and inadequate healthcare. Now, Sophie’s greatest fear is for her four year old daughter, Rachel, whose future hangs in the balance.
Speroway is a lifeline for Sophie, offering community meals and emergency food supplies. This Christmas, you can bring hope to mothers like Sophie by helping to provide for Rachel and building a brighter future.
Here are 3 examples of why your gift is needed this Christmas…
Meet Beatrice, a single mother of two young children in Kenya.After her husband’s passing, Beatrice has been struggling to support Chimwala, 3 and Emmanuel, 8. The only work she can find is doing household chores for others, which isn’t enough to provide for her children. She faces many days with nothing left to give them to eat. This Christmas, please help provide cooking supplies to feed families like Beatrice and her children
In Haiti, Jean and Fabienne recently fled the capital of Port-au-
Prince to escape escalating gang violence. Returning to their
ancestral home in the countryside with their two children, they found
peace but no work to support themselves. They face a bleak
Christmas, but our community feeding programs – run by community
partners – will provide food for the holidays, with your help.
Speroway is involved with children’s homes and children in communities that we work in. Food is scarce this year. Please help us to provide food for children. It costs $35 to supply food for 1 child for a month, basically $1 a day. How many children can you help support this Christmas.
This Christmas, your generosity can offer a lifeline to families who have nowhere else to turn. As we celebrate the blessings of the season, may we remember those in need and extend our hands in compassion and care.
Thank you for all you’ve done and continue to do. May you and your loved ones have a blessed and joyful Christmas.
