Colleen grew up in the slums of Zimbabwe. She was very young when her father passed away, leaving her mom and siblings destitute. When things became “really, really hard,” she was sent to live with her uncle.
Unfortunately, this made matters worse for Colleen. Her uncle abused her, and she became pregnant. As a teenager she found herself with a newborn and no way to provide for him.
“I remember the challenges my son faced — the days we went to bed hungry. The days that my son would scream because he was hungry and I couldn’t feed him. I felt so helpless.”
Your help is needed to provide 1 million meals over the next three months for vulnerable children experiencing hunger. Our team members are ready to distribute meals to suffering people in eight countries, but they need your support.
