Bringing Hope to Children like Cindy

Most children living in a wretched slum in the Philippines called “Happyland” spend their days digging through rubbish in the streets and searching for food or anything they can sell so they can eat.

Here in not-so-Happyland, you’ll find many precious children at risk of being trapped in this trash-heap life – like Cindy who’s only 5 years old.

Every day, Cindy is left alone to care for her brother Kenneth, age 2, and her baby sister Queenie, age 1, in their ramshackle hut. Cindy says, “I feed them, I change their clothes, I put them to sleep when my mama and papa are not home.” Her parents are often absent, working far from home so their family can survive here in the Philippines – where 12 million people live in extreme poverty, and families scrape by on less than $2 per day. Food is scarce, so sometimes Cindy and her siblings go hungry.

But now you’re bringing a smile to Cindy’s face every day, as you help deliver a nutritious meal to her – and 2,500 other kids in the Philippines – through Feed The Hungry’s Every Child Every Day program. Your generosity also ensures that children like Cindy get an education – feeding their minds to help lift them out of poverty so they can have hope for a full life. Best of all, you’re also ensuring that kids like Cindy hear that Jesus loves them.

As we work together with a trusted church partner on the ground, you’re helping them hear the gospel and get copies of Bible Adventures to nourish their souls!

We have a tremendous opportunity right now to double the number of children receiving help and hope like Cindy in the Philippines.

So thank you for your great generosity, and please pray that together we can help many more kids experience a full life in Christ!
