Feeding a Desperate Family

Roxana is a single mom. She worked in the hotel industry until the coronavirus hit. When she lost her job, she suddenly struggled to make ends meet.

“The pandemic started, and I had no job,” she said, “I didn’t have any money to pay my bills and I couldn’t afford any food. And it feels like you just have nowhere else to run.”

Then she found out about Operation Blessing partner, Services of Hope. The ministry receives food from Operation Blessing every month, helping provide for families like Roxana’s.

“My kids were happy cause we finally had something on the table,” she says. “They’re always excited to open those bags and see what’s in there. They like the snacks, they like the cereal, they like the canned goods. It’s good quality of food. Financially, it’s been great because I get to pay my utilities- my water bill and my electric- and that helps me with my budget. It’s just a big blessing.”

Now Roxana has a job in the real estate industry. She says she’s grateful to those who gave to Operation Blessing.

She shares, “I would like to say thank you for supporting Operation Blessing. You know, when you put food on the table, it matters, and it counts. I am very thankful. It’s the best blessing that we can have.”
