Giving for Living Extends Help to Local Community
When Rose Perez, the Practical Care Ministry Leader at the Cornerstone Church, learned about Giving Children Hope’s Giving for Living program, she knew that there were families in the local community that could use assistance.
She explained that right now there are not any diaper assistance programs in place for families with small children who find buying necessary items difficult. Some families are larger and do not qualify for government assistance which is why Perez came to Giving Children Hope in an effort to meet these families’ need.
“I had a 19-year-old girl with two small children, [with a] husband that was unemployed and she could not work due to her pregnancy. We assisted her with food, clothing [for the baby] and diapers. She was so grateful that we were able to help her because there were times she had one diaper left and did not know what to buy: either food or diapers for both her small children,” recalled Perez.
In another case, a desperate mother wanted to take her one-year-old child out of diapers because it was an expense she couldn’t afford. “She was glad we could help her and her daughter could be potty trained like any other child in the U.S.” said Perez.
Giving for Living provides clothes and items such as diapers for those in need in the local community.
