Previously employed, Mary developed epilepsy resulting in her job loss due. Since then, she has been generating income by preparing traditional medicine for young children, yielding about $32/month, not nearly enough to care for such a large household, let along herself. Mary is hopeful and would like to start a business selling second-hand clothing and shoes. She is engaged in her local church community. For now, your help will ensure this family doesn’t go hungry by meeting their most basic needs.
