Bag of Rice Project #428 -A visit to the Green 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 Green family, their bag of rice was donated thanks to Lisa Luke this is the 428th bag of rice our program has been able to give away thanks to generous donations.

By this time it was heavily raining but we were still on the move. Our next family the Green family lived on the other side of the city in Uyo, Nigeria. They were recommended to us by one of the families we had met earlier that day. Mrs Green lost her husband last year and since then has struggled to keep up with the family upkeep. They live in a one bedroom apartment and Mrs Green has 4 kids.

The Greens have a kitchen and use a small gas cylinder to cook. We met Mrs Green who could speak very good Igbo which is my language and she kept us company as we were waiting on the rain to abate a bit. She lost her husband after a protracted illness that took a lot from the family including all the funds from her business. She owned a provision store but had to close it down because she could no longer keep up with rent and she had sold all her products. We already knew how much the family needed help and that was why we came a long way even during the rain to come and see them.

We were very glad to meet this family and but I’m sure the Greens were even happier to see us. They appreciated and thanked us for the gift we brought for them and prayed for their continuous prosperity and good health. We were happy to meet this family and left them way happier than we met them.
