Bag of Rice Project #483 -A visit to the Rockson family

Learn how you can be apart of helping people who are in need with our A Thrifty Mom Bag of Rice Campaign. In 2016 we started helping a young man named Ikechukwu from Nigeria. Summer of 2019 we were able to visit his family in Aba, Nigeria. While there we saw widespread poverty and lack of basic needs. We would like to invite you to help meet one of those basic needs, by providing Nigerian families with rice. This gift will feed a large family for a few months, or a single person a year. It also reminds them they are loved, and brings most of them to tears… as a full bag of rice is one of the most generous gifts they will ever receive. You can also read about other families we have been able to bless here.

The following story is about the Rockson family. Their bag of rice was donated thanks to Linda Watkins Family, and this is the 483rd bag of rice our program has been able to give away thanks to generous donations.

We met the Rockson family In Eket Local Government Area. When we drove into the compound it was as if no one was inside, when they heard our voice they came out. They welcomed us and wanted to know why we were visiting. When we told them our purpose for visiting them, they were happy and did not believe their eyes. They have three children, and they told us because of money, they are unable to send them to school. They live in a one-bedroom apartment, which is built with mud and can collapse at any time if heavy rain falls.

The Rockson family created a space at the back of their house that served as their kitchen, they cook in an open space. The family can only afford firewood for cooking, the price of cooking gas has skyrocketed and they are unable to afford it. Mrs Mary Friday Rockson sells cassava to fend for the family and the husband is unemployed but does menial jobs to feed the family.

The Rockson family were happy and they thanked the donor for remembering them in this hard time. It is a belief in Nigeria that January is always a hard time. They prayed for the donor until we left.
