A message from Claudia in Nicaragua

A message from Claudia in Nicaragua

Nicaragua is one of the poorest countries in Latin America, where approximately one in four people live in poverty. Claudia, a Nicaraguan mother, receives MannaPack® meals for her family through FMSC food distribution partner World Help — and she passed along this message for you:

“I am 25 years old, a single mother, I have two small children. I live in the old city, Chinandega. I received [MannaPack® meals] and it has helped us to have a breather.

This rice has been a true blessing for us...

This year, both of my children were diagnosed with anemia and have been constantly sick. As a mother, this caused me great concern. I already want the best for my little ones, but I don't have the necessary resources to provide them with an adequate and balanced diet.

It was at that moment that I received [MannaPack meals] … . From the first day we tried it, I could tell the difference in the health and vitality of my children.

Fortified soy rice provides them with the necessary nutrients to combat anemia and strengthen their immune system, and we complement it with fresh vegetables.

This rice has been a true blessing for us. Not only has my children's health improved, but it has also eased my emotional and financial burden as a single parent. Now I can turn my attention to other important aspects of their lives, such as their education and development.

I want to sincerely thank all those who made it possible for fortified soybean rice to come into our hands. Your generosity and support have made a significant difference in our lives. I am forever grateful and I promise to make the most of this opportunity. In short, fortified soy rice has given my children and me new hope. It has allowed us to overcome anemia and disease, and has given us the strength to face life's challenges. We are filled with gratitude and wish that more people have access to this nutritious and beneficial food."

I am forever gratfeful and promise to make the most of this opportunity

Thank you for funding, packing and praying over the meals that have blessed Claudia and her family. Your generosity makes a difference for families around the world.
