A Mother, Not Alone Anymore

Noga lost both her parents at a young age, and by the time she became a mother herself, she had no family to lean on. Unemployed, unqualified, and utterly alone, she faced the hardest challenge of her life: caring for her newborn daughter with nothing to fall back on.

Her first step forward came through one of C4i's 'Feed the Hungry' projects, where she joined the Parent-Child Center's Mother-to-Mother program and finally found the guidance she needed to care for her child. From there, doors opened. She was referred to our Welfare to Wellbeing program to help her build skills and find work, and to our Food Distribution Center, which made sure she and her daughter never went without food.

That support gave her something she hadn't had in years: room to breathe.

"Knowing I'm getting these packages takes a lot of the pressure off," she said. "This way, I can work on making a better future for us, instead of worrying about where my daughter's next meal is going to come from."
