Story of hope- Befriended grannies feel supported
TFCM’s “Befriend a granny” scheme is making a significant difference to the lives of many eldery, and often forgotten about people within the community. They are vulnerable as well as poor, lacking access to free health care or social services support and without family members to look after them locally. Although these special women have spent much of their lives in caring for children and grandchildren, they now find themselves in need of some practical support themselves, as well as the need to feel valued and not forgotten about within the community.
During this coronovirus pandemic, not only have TFCM been distributing emergency food supplies to TFCM sponsored children and their extended families, but we have also been giving small monetary gifts to the befriended grannies to help them during this very difficult time. Having to care for and feed children who are in their care and currently out of school has been a huge undertaking for these individuals. Yet they feel the love and support of their UK sponsors, in helping financially to support them.
