An Oversized T-Shirt Was It for Jane

An oversized t-shirt was all they had for Jane...

September is Hunger Action Month!
Add a description
When Melanie and her family moved to Florida, things did not go as planned.

Melanie, her husband, and 3 kids ended up living out of hotels with the occasional, unexpected "camping trip" when things got even tighter. Melanie and her 8 year old daughter, Jane, came to Christian HELP after one of their "camping trips", covered in bug bites, with Jane wearing only an over-sized men's t-shirt. With no way to wash their clothes, that t-shirt was the only thing clean for Jane to wear.  
 
Jim, Melanie's husband, took a part time labor job while Melanie cared for their children. The Smith family was barely staying afloat when she reached out for help. We were able to provide much needed food for their family and 3 new donated backpacks for the school year. Timothy is starting a full time job this week and their family is now in a home.
You made it possible to help the Smith's during their trying time. Thank you for taking action this Hunger Action Month! With a donation of just $60, you can provide food for families like the Smith's for an entire month.

Student Success Story
from Our
Central Florida Jobs Initiative
Ernestine had been without a job for 5 years and "could not figure out what was wrong with her." Interview after interview, she never received a call back.
Not able to cover her expenses and being a few dollars over the food stamp allowance, Ernestine was at the end of her rope and feeling hopeless.
Ernestine learned about Christian HELP's CFJI program at a seminar and decided to participate. There she learned how to interview well, write a compelling resume, and received food from the Christian HELP food bank. With the help of CFJI, Ernestine now has a job, is able to provide for herself, and once again believes in herself.
"All those years of struggling finally ended because of their dedication and sincere efforts in helping people like me. This job has given me a new lease on life. I pray they never end this program. I couldn't have done it without CFJI."

Thank YOU for making this program possible with your investment in and support of Christian HELP!
