We received funds from GlobalGiving for a second distribution in December 2020. Due to Covid-19 many families are struggling financially. We provided 54 families with a food and hygiene kit and tied it to a Yezidi holiday in December. They traditionally make cookies with dates and walnuts which are served to their guests. With the food delivered we made sure we provided the necessary flour, dates and walnuts. Families were very grateful for the kits provided and specifically for the dates and walnuts; one family right started making the traditional cookies right away.
A family tragically had their 14 year old son die a month before the distribution. The family situation is even harder as the father has abandoned their family of 9. For this single mother with many young children her survival often depends on the generosity of others in the community. For this family the distribution of food and cleaning supplies will help to sustain the family as they grieve this tragedy. Another family ran out of money to buy cleaning supplies on the morning we delivered the package with cleaning supplies. They were very grateful for the supplies handed out to them.
