Mrs. Elisa Flones was enrolled in the widow program in April of 2014. She is representative of the widows in our program. . She has 2 children, but only 1 is living. Her daughter can't find employment so she isn't able to help care for her mother.
Pure Mission supports 75 widows through its widow sponsorship program. We provide them with seeds and fertilizer to grow crops, cloth to sew dresses and medical care as they age. In some cases, we even match them to one of the children in our community sponsorship program who needs a place to live. In this way, they're able to care for others even as we are caring for them. All our widows are elderly and many of them have already gone to be with Jesus. That's why you won't see all their names listed here: the list changes regularly. Just as soon as Jesus takes one to be with Him, we find another who needs our care, keeping the number steady at 75. So while you won't be able to build the same sorts of relationships with widows that you can with young children, you'll still be able to make a tremendous difference in the last years of these women's lives. All it takes is $20 a month to care for Mrs. Flones or another woman like her. Please consider giving today!
