The Impact of Your Gift
John moved from the mountains of South America to a bustling city to attend a university, but he felt lost without the agricultural life he was used to. A local church offered a field behind their building to allow him and other students from the mountains to raise chickens and grow their own food. Send Relief provided the supplies to help them get started. After tending the chickens and garden, John and the other students have a Bible study with local Send Relief partners. This young man is thankful for the calluses that have come back on his hands, for the opportunity for exercise, and for the dignity that comes with having the ability to grow his own food.
