What would you do if your children were hungry and you had absolutely nothing to feed them?

Amarante Desir, a poor mother in Haiti, has only one solution: she prays.

It breaks Amarante’s heart when she can’t ease her children’s hunger. She breaks down in tears as she describes her family’s desperate situation. The family lives in a dilapidated shack in the sprawling slum of Cité Soleil. Some days they have nothing to eat.

Although food is scarce in the household, prayer is abundant. When there is no food for the children, Amarante prays, “God, here are Your children. You gave them to me and they are Yours. Please help me.” Amarante explains, “I feel better after I pray, knowing that God will not leave me, but will give me strength. I feel God’s presence when I pray.”

Throughout the world, food and fuel prices have skyrocketed recently. These increases are especially difficult for those who struggle daily for survival.

Amarante sums up her suffering family’s plight in saying, “If there’s any way you can help us, we’d really appreciate it.”
