Caring for Elderly Widows

widowsThere are many elderly widows who cannot work any longer but are in need of the essentials of life, such as food, clothes, and medical care. For $5 a month, we are caring for elderly widows like Yellamma. Yellamma has been a widow for 15 years and is about 65 years old. She is considered cursed in her family because of her husband's death...something that already brings her pain, loneliness and grief.  She is currently living with her daughter and son-in-law essentially as a slave in their house. Often times she is thrown out of the house by her son-in-law if anything goes wrong in his house.  According to him, she is to blame. She has gone without food for days, has had to sleep outside some nights, and has had to resort to begging in the neighboring streets.

Yelamma now comes weekly to meet at the local church where she learns of God's love for her and praises Him for it.  She has known no love like this in her whole life.  She shares her struggles with the other women and receives prayer.  She is renewed each week with a new hope, and she is receiving some food that not only helps to feed her but also gives her increased acceptance in her family.  

NHM is caring for women like Yellamma for as little as $5 a month. It's just astounding what $5 a month can do in India. Would you consider helping 3 widows by donating $15 a month?  Or possibly 5 widows for $25?  Any amount will make a deep impact on these women's lives.   Click here to start making a difference today.
