Meet Massiel. Her ex-husband is in jail because he used to abuse Massiel and her children. Massiel lives in a one-room shack made out of scrap wood and sheet metal in a small community on the outskirts of town with her four girls. The work Massiel has been able to find is minimal and she struggles to feed and clothe her children everyday. Despite all of this, I don’t think I’ve met a family that is filled with so much joy and hope in my entire life.

A fellow missionary here is currently helping Massiel with rice, beans and oatmeal each week to help alleviate some of the pressure from her. She is so appreciative of the small amount of food we bring her each week. Unfortunately, in two weeks the funding for this will be depleted. If you feel led to help Massiel out (anything you can give will go directly to this family) please contact us or email us at aheartforthenations [at] gmail [dot] com.
