Through Gifts of Hope, your generous support not only provided emergency food in a time of need but also empowered this family of women and children to overcome poverty!
With a family of five and one income, each day brought struggle. Grandma Samnang, her daughter Dara and three grandchildren lived under one roof. There were many mouths to feed.
At 72, Grandma Samnang could not work. Her daughter, Dara, was a widow and the sole income earner for the family. Her job as a waitress brought home $50/month to go towards the family’s needs. But despite her hard work, Dara’s meager salary meant the family scraped by. They often sacrificed meals to continue paying rent.
But they quickly fell two to three months behind on rent. And the children still didn’t have enough to eat. Grandma Samnang knew they needed a miracle.
After hearing about Holt Cambodia, Grandma Samnang sought help. And because of your gifts to provide emergency food to families in need, the miracle they needed came through!
Grandma Samnang and her family received emergency rations, including rice, fish sauce, soy sauce, dried fish, duck eggs, cooking oil and milk. For the first time, there was enough food for the household!
Because of your Gifts of Hope donations, the children have grown healthier and have the energy they need to focus at school. And they’re earning good grades! Dara also found a new job that pays $200/month plus tips!
The family is now out of debt and has a sustainable source of income for daily needs. Your support has lifted this family of five to their feet and given them hope for a better future.
Grandma Samnang shares, “I am deeply grateful to Holt Cambodia for making a positive difference [for] my family. I am so [over]joyed that [it] [cannot] be described by words!”
