Christmas Blessings to Liberian Widows ~ December 2011

As in previous years, Hearts for Africa chose to disperse the remaining funds in our account (that had been donated by our generous supporters) to help several widows in Chris's village this Christmas.
We were able to help out these five needy families. Each of them received various items such as mattresses, dishes, clothes, food and whatever other item(s) that Chris thought was urgently needed.


This is Nyamah Kollie. She is a 78 year old Kpelle woman who was forced out of her village in Bong County in 1999 as a result of the civil war. She had been living with a friend's daughter in Duazon Town, which is Chris's village. This friend, with whom Nyamah did everything together, recently died this past August, leaving Nyamah with her friend's children and her own grandchildren who were left to her after her last daughter's death last year.



This is Neallay Sayway. She lives in Duason Town, near Chris. She lives in a hut that has no sleeping arrangements and is therefore forced to sleep outdoors. Her husband and two sons were all killed in a motor vehicle accident in 1999. She is left to take care of this little boy.



This is Lesaymu Flayu. She is a 45 year old Bassa woman who was left to raise their four children on her own when her husband died in 2001. Since then, she has been frequently raped and as a result she is now raising nine children with different fathers. No man will marry her now with so many children to care for.

This is Zean Kpasea. She is a 55 year old Bassa woman. All of her belongings that she had worked for were lost in a house fire in 1992 and her husband died in 2000. She is raising six children and is mainly living only to find food for herself and her dependents.

This is Tumu Kpana. Unfortunately, Chris did not send much information about this family by the time we posted this.

Here is Tumu with the items that HFA bought for her.

We know that what we have been able to provide for these precious families is so little compared to the luxuries we enjoy in North America on a daily basis, but we trust that our efforts will not have been in vain and that God Himself will bless our endeavours to help the "least of these" ...

We can only imagine the joy they are now experiencing from these little gifts that our generous donors have freely given to them! Thank you and may you also be blessed through your giving.
