SUPPLYING HOPE FOR LEARNING

A Mother’s Strength: Mommy Vanelyn’s Story

One day, while browsing Facebook, I came across a story that I couldn’t forget. It wasn’t just a simple post—it was a glimpse into the life of a hardworking mom who would do anything for her children. Mommy Vanelyn shared a photo of her daughter proudly wearing a medal and wrote about her hope that her kids could continue their studies. Her words stayed with me, and her prayers for school supplies touched something deep in my heart.

What amazed me even more was her creativity and determination. She had made an improvised steamer/oven using a recycled tin can of biscuits to support her food business. It was incredible to see how she used what little she had to keep moving forward for her family. Her strength, resourcefulness, and love for her children inspired me to help.

Without her knowing, I began following her posts, admiring how she faced her challenges with resilience. I reached out to her and asked for her details, wanting to make things a little easier for her. A few days later, her children received complete school supplies for the upcoming year—everything they needed to study and succeed. And for Mommy Vanelyn, we sent her a 3-tier steamer and tools for her business. Now, she can cook more at once, sell more, and earn more to provide for her family. The gratitude and joy in her smile made every effort worth it.

Sometimes, we forget that God works in ways we don’t expect. Mommy Vanelyn’s story reminded me of the power of faith and perseverance. Even in the hardest times, she never gave up, and through the kindness of others, her prayers were answered. Her journey is a beautiful reminder that as long as we keep doing our best, life has a way of surprising us with what we need.

It’s moments like these that remind me why I do what I do. If this story has touched your heart, I invite you to join us in making a difference. Together, we can bring hope and light to families who need it the most.

With love and hope,
