With frigid weather coming, the added challenge of winter heating looks big to many people in poverty-stricken villages in Moldova and other countries. Many families are scraping by, trying to provide enough food and clothes, as well as pay for schooling for their children. Our delivery drivers in Moldova report that some of the elderly give up medicine just to save money for heating in the winter.
Cold weather, 12 children to feed, and only seasonal work face Oleg and Mariana. Since a supply of firewood for winter heating can cost nearly a month’s income, the firewood this Moldovan family received through CAM supporters was a blessing.
