“ If it wasn’ t for this resource, we wouldn’ t eat.”
How your generosity rescued one grieving North Texas family.
When her husband died of cancer, Mercy didn’ t know how she was going to care for her growing boys, Manuel and Johnny. She suffers from epilepsy and is on a fixed disability income. Now on a single income, it’ s nearly impossible to cover her bills and purchase enough food for her family.
“ It’ s hard providing for young boys as a single mother,” she admits.
Then, a neighbor told Mercy about the pantry at Brother Bill’ s Helping Hand, a Partner Agency within NTFB’ s feeding network, that is stocked with nutritious food from caring friends like you.
“ I didn’ t know there were places that would help people like me in my situation until I started coming here. They have really picked me up and helped me get back on my feet,” Mercy says.
Mercy and her sons pick up healthy foods regularly from the pantry, including eggs, meats and fresh vegetables. The food you provide has been a lifesaver for this deserving family!
“ If it wasn’ t for this resource, we wouldn’ t eat. We couldn’ t make it,” Mercy says.“ It has really helped me as a single mother and helps so many other people like me.”
“ I thank everyone who helps support Partner Agencies like Brother Bill’ s Helping Hand and North Texas Food Bank,” Mercy says.
Your continued support of the North Texas Food Bank ensures that families facing hardships, like Mercy and her sons, are not alone. Thank you!
You provide Mercy and her sons, Manuel and Johnny, the food they need to survive and thrive. Thank you!
