Another one of the families we have been able to help are Joanna and Jackie. Here's a little bit about them.......
Joanna
and Jackie are sisters who love to play and have their hair braided. The girls have been coming to our kids club
for a while. Joanna and Jackie’s Mum and
Dad love them but are really struggling with money and trying to find a job.
Last
month the family were forced to leave their old room due to not having the
money to pay the rent and became homeless.
The family have been sleeping outside under a truck in the slum. Two weeks ago we told the family that we wanted to
help them find a new home. Ten minutes
later, Mum came back and said she had found a room and had already started to
clean it! Joanna and Jackie were very
excited and started jumping around! Mum is still smiling two weeks later:)
Dad
said that the family would pay for their water bill but asked for help with the
rent and electricity. We
agreed to pay this and work with parents to help them get back on their feet
and get jobs so that they can start to pay the rent themselves over the coming months. We are very grateful to a church in the UK who have given a gift to cover these costs.
