It has been so encouraging for all of us, here in North Africa, when in less than a week, after the Emergency Appeal for Amina’s family was sent out, we received such overwhelming positive responses.
The start of the positive change
Yesterday, we went personally to deliver some of the items purchased. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. After huffing and puffing up those stairs, we were greeted by the broad smiles of Amina and Kamel.
What caught our attention was not just the freshly painted walls but also the peculiar brightness of the place - a result of the electrical repairs done and ceiling lightings installed. A brand new working fridge stands in one corner and in the other corner, a stand fan keeps the place cool and the flies out!
The Excitement
Two of the three bedrooms are fully furnished with new beds/mattresses and a wardrobe. The children were so excited and happy seeing their new beds and toys.
Where we are at the moment
Repair works in the bathroom and kitchen are still in progress. Currently, we are still in need of kitchen cabinets / shelves. There are still a few more things needed, please do check out our online store for more details.
Kamel and Amina are very grateful and happy.
“We and our children fled war-torn Sudan 5 months ago and came here with absolutely nothing except each other and the clothes on our backs. Today, God, through y’all have helped us so much and we are forever grateful. May God bless you richly.”
Amina starts crying at this point...tears of joy.
On behalf of Hope for MENA
We would like to thank you for helping us make Amina’s house a home! You have given up your *wants* for Amina and her family's *needs*.
Thank you for partnering with us and showing God’s love to this family in such a tangible way. Thank you for your kind generosity. Be richly blessed for giving.
