Aid for widowed Elena

Jan 23, 2020

Elena’s husband died in 2009, leaving her alone to care for her three young girls. Their house in Moldova belongs to Elena’s parents and needs repairs.

Elena is fortunate to have a monthly income of $160 by working in a bakery, but this is not enough to meet her family’s needs. The Support-A-Widow food parcel she receives each month helps significantly. Instead of spending money on food, she can use it for things like clothes and heat.
