Bag of Rice Project #490 -A visit to the Daniel 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 Daniel family. Their bag of rice was donated thanks to The Watkins Family, and this is the 490th bag of rice our program has been able to give away thanks to generous donations.

This beautiful family was met in Eket Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom state, Nigeria. The family is blessed with 6 kids. The family stays in a one-room apartment, the house is built with blocks and part of the house is plastered. They complained that when heavy rain falls the roof of the house was destroyed by the rain, and that part of the house is leaking. When we told them what we have for them, they shouted because they did not see it as a normal thing and no one has ever donated a bag of rice to them before.

The family cooks at the back of their house, and they use firewood to cook. They are unable to afford cooking gas which will ease the stress of cooking, the firewood they use affects their health but they are left with no choice but to use it. The husband was not around during the time of our visit but we were told he’s a commercial bike man and the wife told us she is unemployed.

The family were happy and they prayed that God will bless the donor and answer all their prayers, they waved at us as we left.
