Thank you all for helping Miriam get back to a sustainable life. She is working hard on that. She has found shelter for her and her children.

The shelter costs $70 a month. 

They also need money for groceries and medicine. 

Her daughter is now old enough to drink goats milk which could be a one-time expense if she can raise $400 to buy a goat. 

Otherwise, she needs to purchase milk continuously for her daughter. Her daughter has been sick with typical winter infections and still has an ear infection that requires medication, and fever reducers. Over the past two months these cost her over $700. Milk there now costs $7.50 a container.

Purchasing a goat is something she hopes to do. 

She is very grateful for the help and said that after being treated for malnutrition her children are flourishing and she is delighted to see them doing well. Thank you for the lifesaving help you have provided. The family is doing well because of it. Please continue to help until they are fully back on their feet. 

Miriam has been through an unimaginable ordeal. First, she was under siege by her government, then her government was overthrown, now her country remains uncertain as the dust settles, and other dust is kicked up. 

During the siege, the World Food Program, which had been feeding her camp of refugees, pulled out suddenly due to other international conflicts, and Miriam had to fend for herself. 

Her baby has struggled with health issues over the past six months, and right now is facing malnutrition. Miriam still needs help with medicine for the baby and food for her family. 

Under the current system, Miriam feels safe to live in a solid shelter again, and aspires to build a single room and bathroom to house her family and keep them safe. 

The room will need to be built, and the cost is roughly $10,000. We will adjust her goal accordingly. Money from here on will cover food, medicine,  and the construction of shelter for her family as she works toward regaining self-sufficiency. 

Thank you for all you have done supporting Miriam. I trust she is in the home stretch.
