During our visit to Badda, an 8th grader named Mershed invited us into his spotlessly kept one-room home. He lives there with his parents and three siblings. His mom, Tahmina, cleans for five families, his dad sells fruit, and Mershed dreams of becoming an engineer.
When we asked Tahmina how Thrive’s nutrition programs were working, she broke down in tears, remembering how family food packages kept them afloat during the darkest days of COVID:
“We are very grateful to you. We will never forget how you helped us… At that time, we didn’t have much work or income, and we used to wait for your food packages. We will never forget your kindness.”
She spoke those words to us, but they belong to you. Every donor who stepped up kept families like Mershed’s fed, safe, and hopeful.
Help us keep showing up for these incredible families every single day. Donate today to power our ongoing nutrition and literacy programs. 💛
