Gifts for a Family with Nothing
“The needy will never be forgotten, nor will the hope
of the afflicted ever fade.”
Psalm 9:19
They have absolutely nothing. Lacking food, basic shelter, a source of income and an education, many poor families in the Caribbean and Latin America are so destitute they need everything. Although these families long to become self-sufficient, they are forced to live in hovels and beg for scraps. They hope for the opportunity to live in a sturdy house and learn a trade that will help them break free from the cycle of poverty forever. All they ask for is a “hand-up” — not a handout.
Our “everything for a family with nothing” package offers exactly that. It’s relatively inexpensive, considering the remarkable changes this gift makes in the lives of a destitute family. They receive a new house with a latrine, food for one full year, a small business project (such as sewing), coverage of school expenses for their children, clothing and shoes.
By giving this package in honor of loved ones, you dramatically change the course of another family’s life in the Caribbean or Latin America. Just as God gave us Jesus to bring hope into a weary world, what better gift than bringing new life to a family weary from poverty?
