Imagine, if you can, being an 85 to 100 year old grandmother taking care of your grandchildren on a permanent basis. The parents have either died from illness (many from AIDS) or simply abandoned the children. Then imagine you are taking care of 1, 2 even 6 grandchildren with no assistance from church, family, or government. You have no way of making an income and your plot of land is too small to have any sort of garden (plus you are 85-100 years old taking care of young children!). Do you feel alone? Abandoned? Hopeless?
Saved By God’s Grace funds a food program for 70 grandmothers in this situation by providing some staple items for the month (flour, oil, rice, etc.). They also get together once a month for a hot meal and fellowship. I know they appreciate the food but they equally look forward to the once a month gathering to talk, be encouraged, have Bible study and soak in the love they receive from the volunteers.
Your financial assistance helps make this a recurring event in these grandmothers lives. Please consider becoming a financial partner with us as Saved By God’s Grace continues to spread the Gospel of Christ through actions such as these.
