Campaign Story

Gladys and her family are going through one of the toughest seasons of their lives. A few years ago, she worked so hard and, with hope in her heart, was able to purchase an uncompleted building. Her dream was simple yet profound—to roof it and finally give her family a place to call their own, a place of dignity, safety, and peace. But life has not been kind. Every time she tried to set something aside to complete the house, financial challenges would come crashing in, pushing her dream further and further away. Still, Gladys held on to hope, believing that someday things would get better. Then came the birth of her child. Instead of joy and relief, Gladys faced another crisis. The place she was staying became uninhabitable—termites had eaten deep into the building, and it was no longer safe, especially for a newborn. Imagine being a new mother, with the overwhelming responsibility of protecting a fragile little life, yet having nowhere safe to lay your baby’s head. With tears and a heavy heart, she had no choice but to move in with a relative, promising herself it would only be for a short while until she could find a way to roof her own house. But the days turned into months. Life only became harder. Doors that seemed like they might open quickly shut, and every effort she made to raise money for the roofing met with disappointment. Now, to make matters worse, she is under immense pressure from the very relative who once took her in. They have grown weary of her presence and have asked her to leave. Gladys is crushed. She is a mother with a child, yet she stands at the brink of homelessness. The weight of frustration, rejection, and helplessness sits heavily on her shoulders. She often wonders how long she can keep enduring this, and where she and her child will go if she is forced out. This is why your support is so important. Together, we can help Gladys pick up the broken pieces of her dream and finally complete the house she started years ago. By contributing towards the roofing and basic furnishing of her building, you are not just helping to complete a structure—you are giving Gladys and her child a home, a refuge, a chance to rebuild their dignity and hope. No one should have to live with the constant fear of being thrown out, especially a mother with a little one depending on her. Please, let’s come together to give Gladys and her child the gift of stability, safety, and peace. Your kindness can be the answer to her long years of prayer.
