Bag of Rice Project #526 -A visit to the Frank 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 Frank family. Their bag of rice was donated thanks to Megan Wells, and this is the 526th bag of rice our program has been able to give away thanks to generous donations.

We were introduced to the Frank family by the Ndifreke family, they were close neighbors. The Frank family lives in Ikot Ibritam a village domiciled in the southern part of Nigeria. Mr Frank was not in when we visited, but the wife gave us a warm welcome. When we told her what we had for her, she didn’t believe her eyes, she danced and told us they have been starving for days now because they are unable to sell their farm proceeds because of a lack of transportation to the market where they do sell, which is because of the increase in the price of fuel. The family is blessed with five children, when we visited, we only saw one, and the other four went to the stream to fetch water they would use in bathing. They live in a one-bedroom apartment that is a mud house.

The Frank family dedicates a room to cooking; they are unable to afford a gas cooker considering the price at which a gas cooker is sold, and they also won’t be able to maintain it because the amount involved in filling a gas cooker is expensive. That is why they opt to use the cheapest, which is firewood. Mrs. Frank told us she and her husband are both farmers; he was not in when we visited, and they do this to fend for the family.

The family was overjoyed, and as they praised God and prayed for the donor, their spirits were lifted. They said that whatever the donor touches will prosper and that God will favor his labor. The family was hurting and hungry, yet when we left, they were happy and smiling.
