Jony<\/em>: <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Nicaraguan refugee from 2018. Both his brothers were murdered. He lives in a house with his wife, 17-year-old son, and autistic son, whom he loves with all his heart. He has a chronic ailment. We provide him with monthly rent relief and a weekly food basket<\/a>. His autistic son has been having constant, uncontrollable seizures. I provide Jony a safe place to cry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maria<\/em>: <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Nicaraguan refugee with cancer. She has one child and has been diagnosed with cancer. Her chemotherapy and radiotherapy were suspended because she can’t pay for insurance<\/a> since she can’t work. She lives with her mother in a house where the owner is an angel on earth. This kind landlady helps Maria get to our place and carries her food basket for her. I provide both her and her neighbor with food and talk with her gently. On Monday, she shows up beautifully dressed, smiling, her wispy hair combed, and thankful to us for our help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hugo<\/em>: <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An ex-Contra fighter with an extensive family. He always shows up with something to give so we can provide him with free food. I always banter good-naturedly with him because I am Gringa, he is Nica, and I was Sandinista.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carla<\/em>: <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A young mother of three, including a very fragile newborn. We give her clothes, diapers, food, and love for her kids. She can’t work. I provide her with some rent relief. I see she is scared, and I see her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maria and her 13-year-old son<\/em>: <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He is trying desperately to stay in school and graduate sixth grade. He comes every day to help carry up the food. They just got evicted. I gave her rent relief, and our team decided to make him a formal member and provide him with weekly financial help and a food basket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And So The Days o By<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If I did not have the support of the donors<\/a>, none of these fragile and gentle people could get their needs met. A listening heart is good, but a listening heart with some financial power is better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
