There was no other option. COVID-19 had devastated the family business leaving them with no food. Rosa regretfully pulled her children from school and sent them into the city to sell. It was her only hope.
Rosa desperately needs your help. Will you give $35 today to feed one child so that they can continue their education?
Rosa is a single mom raising four children in her makeshift hut near the garbage dump just outside of Oaxaca City, Mexico. Her life is humble, but her culinary skills have provided a small income to support her family. She uses her outdoor comal to make fresh tortillas and her brick oven to bake fresh sweet bread every day.
When COVID-19 began to spread, fear, hoarding and price-gouging made it impossible to purchase baking supplies. Rosa went weeks with no income. Her local customer base dwindled with no hope on the horizon.
As cases declined and supplies became available once again, the only thing Rosa knew to do was to travel into the city center in hopes of finding customers. It grieved her, but she sent her four kids on the long taxi ride into the city to sell her tortillas while she stayed behind to keep baking. Without income, they would be hopeless.
Rosa fears her children will never return to school if something doesn't change. It's what happened to her when she was a young girl. In Rosa's community, it's all too common to send kids into the workforce prematurely when families fall on hard times. One small choice closes the door to an education and the hope of a better life. More than anything, Rosa wants her kids to have the chance she never had.
Your gift of $35 feeds a child for one month, giving them the opportunity to return to school in January.
