Our long term guest, Miriam, is 72 years old and lives alone with no means of transportation. Through our partnership with The Giving Network, Feeding Hands has been delivering nutritious and life sustaining food directly to her door. She has been battling leukemia for over a year, and Feeding Hands has stood with her throughout the toilsome process of doctor’s visits and chemotherapy treatments. After each delivery, Miriam calls to express her thanks for the food. In a recent call, she joyfully informed us that the chemotherapy is working and her health is improving. She told us her doctors are saying “Thank God for Feeding Hands!”, as the food we have given her has strengthened her body to fight and to gain the needed weight to survive.
Individuals like Miriam are the reason Feeding Hands exist. We stand in the gap for our guests to ensure they have the basic necessities they need to fight their battles and win!
