Thanks to the support of sponsors and donors feeding hungry children, your generosity revitalized 4-year-old Tran and her family.
Not long ago, a thin, weak little girl with wispy hair sat in the arms of her grandmother. She looked pale and her eyes seemed sad. Holt Vietnam staff had come to visit her family, whose circumstances had grown increasingly desperate.
Four-year-old Tran lives with her three siblings, parents and grandparents in a small rural home. Her father farms, and her mother works at a shoe factory.
To earn extra income, the family rented a small piece of land nearby, hoping to grow more food to sell. But they didn’t have enough money for quality seeds or fertilizer.
With no other options, they borrowed money at high interest. This meant they often lost more than they earned from the farm, pushing them deeper into debt and hardship.
Losing income, their situation had become dire. Tran and her siblings became malnourished. The light in their eyes faded…
But then you stepped in to help Tran and her family.
Thanks to you, they received corn seeds and fertilizers to revitalize their farm. Within three weeks, Tran’s parents harvested two tons of corn to sell — enough to feed their children and earn income!
Here’s the best part: your gift multiplied! Now, Tran’s father is farming vegetables all year long. In addition to corn, the family harvests cucumbers, eggplants, gourds and okra to eat and sell.
Today, Tran and her siblings are healthy and full of energy — all thanks to you.
Thank you for giving Tran and her family a sustainable and bright future.
