“ If it wasn ’ t for this resource , we wouldn ’ t eat .”
How your generosity rescued one grieving North Texas family .
When her husband died of cancer , Mercy didn ’ t know how she was going to care for her growing boys , Manuel and Johnny . She suffers from epilepsy and is on a fixed disability income . Now on a single income , it ’ s nearly impossible to cover her bills and purchase enough food for her family .
“ It ’ s hard providing for young boys as a single mother ,” she admits .
Then , a neighbor told Mercy about the pantry at Brother Bill ’ s Helping Hand , a Partner Agency within NTFB ’ s feeding network , that is stocked with nutritious food from caring friends like you .
“ I didn ’ t know there were places that would help people like me in my situation until I started coming here . They have really picked me up and helped me get back on my feet ,” Mercy says .
Mercy and her sons pick up healthy foods regularly from the pantry , including eggs , meats and fresh vegetables . The food you provide has been a lifesaver for this deserving family !
“ If it wasn ’ t for this resource , we wouldn ’ t eat . We couldn ’ t make it ,” Mercy says . “ It has really helped me as a single mother and helps so many other people like me .”
“ I thank everyone who helps support Partner Agencies like Brother Bill ’ s Helping Hand and North Texas Food Bank ,” Mercy says .
Your continued support of the North Texas Food Bank ensures that families facing hardships , like Mercy and her sons , are not alone . Thank you !
You provide Mercy and her sons , Manuel and Johnny , the food they need to survive and thrive . Thank you !
