This Ramadan the need was great and our efforts together have made the difference in the lives of thousands of children and their loved ones.
Ferial is a widow caring for 8 members of her family. At 69 years of age, her health is deteriorating, in addition to suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder since the war in 2014. Her husband passed away in 2007 and she has cared for her children, and now married children and grandchildren, receiving only aid from the World Food Program amounting to approximately $31 a month.
She and her sons do what they can to bring food to the table, but often it is not enough to feed the family. “I am very tired, because I do not have a stable source of income,” said Ferial.
A beneficiary of the Ramadan food distribution, Ferial and her family along with thousands more in Gaza, East Jerusalem, and Lebanon were able to break fast with their family enjoying a meal rich in nutrients.
“I was scared and worried, how would I feed my family in Ramadan but after I received the food basket, I was very happy, especially since more than 8 months, no meat or chicken has entered our house.” Ferial continued.
Our food distribution program will continue beyond Ramadan feeding families like Ferial’s in Gaza and Lebanon. Many families are living on the brink and children are growing without access to proper nutrition. The fresh food distribution enables these families to remain steadfast and focus on other needs.
“When we received the Kinder-USA fresh food basket, we were all happy. All my children and grandchildren were very happy because it secured our basic needs of food during Ramadan month. I am able to pay some of my debt and I have bought my grandchildren Eid Clothes. I thank you all for this blessing!”
This Ramadan the need was great and our efforts together have made the difference in the lives of thousands of children and their loved ones.
