OPERATION MAT TO MATTRESS

IMAGINE FOR A MOMENT… if this was you or your mother….  

 IMAGINE ….  that you are an elderly widow.  You have only one thin blanket and a mat on a cold dirt floor to sleep on.  You feel something brush past your toe.  You are relieved to know it is only a rat, not a thief. 

 IMAGINE…your worst pain ever…your head is throbbing, you have a fever and every bone in your body hurts.  It is probably malaria again.  You have no money for pain killers, nor for treatment.  

 IMAGINE … eating “just enough” to take the hunger pains away, but not enough to satisfy.  You are saving food for  tomorrow so the children can eat. 

FRIENDS, this is a reality for many of our widows in Liberia who are still waiting for help.

TAKE A LOOK AT THE RENOVATIONS WE DID FOR AS LITTLE AS $250.00

God is a DEFENDER OF WIDOWS and we certainly have seen HIS FAVOR on our widows.

Presently we have 225 widows on our program.  We  have 2 rice distribution centers.  One in New Matadi and the other one in Harper, Maryland. We help with medical issues too as funds allow.  

In a developing nation that has been through so much war and turmoil, it is the widows and children who have suffered most. 

For $250 we can buy a bed, blankets, pillows, a mosquito net and put in new flooring.   If the roof is leaking we can repair that for $50.  WHAT A HUGE DIFFERENCE THIS MAKES TO THE COMFORT OF OUR ELDERLY WIDOWS.  

THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT CHRISTMAS PROJECT FOR A FAMILY THIS CHRISTMAS.
