Urgent food need at Orphanage
The supply of food at El Sauzal has dwindled dramatically lately. In this note, Assistant Director Erika is writing (to liaison Roy Ketring in the U.S.) to tell how things are:
My dad asked me to tell you how things are going here at the orphanage, I thought he had already told you because the situation that is very bad. We used to have donations in goods like food, personal hygene items, cleaning supplys, etc., Groceries in general from at list a couple of different individuals trough all the year, but right now no one is bringing anything, just a few people are still visiting us.
Monetarily you know how things are, but at least we used to be able to buy toilet paper, now, we don`t have not even for that, I had to give to the orphanage my house toilet paper and shampoo, my mother had to use her own food for the children to eat a decent meal, etc., we (my dad, Keila and me) have used our salary and other money to buy the food and to provide for the children different needs. The meals consist in in beans, rice and flour only, because there is nothing else we can offer to the children, Thanks God that at least we have that!!!!!
In my desperation I went to Ensenada to a lot of different supermarkets and stores asking for donations and for their support, but no one could help us. I believe God is faithful and that He has always provided for our children needs, but , I also believe that as sons and daughters of God, we have the freedom and the obligation to tell our brothers and sisters how our situation is, what are or needs, because if they don`t know, how can God touch their hearts so they can be used for His glory? We are stilling the blessings from them!
I`m letting you know all of this, so you can inform our brothers and sisters that love this Orphanage of our situation. Again, I`m not doing this because I don`t have any faith, I`m doing it because I trust my Lord and that if we do the part we were given, He will do His part and show is Glory and showered us with His blessing!!
