A Mother's Worst Fears

CBN.com - Nida was worried about her 5-year-old son, Anthony. She’d noticed that he’d developed a bad cough and a fever, but then many of the children in the community had the same symptoms. But money had been tight, and Nida couldn’t afford to take her son to a doctor.

"Life has been very difficult since my husband left," Nida said. "Raising a family alone is such a heavy burden."

So Nida was very thankful when Operation Blessing came to their community in the Phillipines with a free medical clinic. That’s where she learned that her son had contracted tuberculosis. Operation Blessing then began treating Anthony and more than 60 other children who were also diagnosed with tuberculosis.

In the months that followed, Anthony and his friends have been recovering nicely. And for Anthony’s mom who has struggled to put food on the table for her six children? Operation Blessing was able to help her to start a small business making and selling peanut butter.

"I thank God for Operation Blessing! They helped me and my family in a big way. They’ve changed our lives," Nida said.

Outreaches like this are made possible only with your help. Thanks to you, the people of this community in the Phillipines have seen the love of Jesus in action. And it doesn't stop there. Your faithful gifts are helping to feed and clothe children here and abroad, are providing medical care to those in desperate need, and are helping share the tangible love of Jesus to people all around the world
