Fender's Struggle to Escape Violence and Poverty

We met Fender several years ago through a friend who was doing mission work in Haiti. He works with children teaching them the Bible. He is 26 years old and is still single. We have helped him for about 3 years with several things but mostly food. I believe if he could go to another country that he would be successful. We were able to get him some computer training and he speaks English. Fender is looking for a country where he will be safer, more secure, and have a hopeful future. He wrote me the following letter:


“Life in Haiti has become increasingly challenging due to the combination of violence, insecurity, and poverty that seem to engulf our daily lives. The pervasive violence and insecurity in our communities have cast a shadow of fear that we can't escape. Every day feels like a battle just to ensure our own safety and the well-being of our loved ones. The lack of opportunities to escape poverty only adds to the weight we carry. In light of these circumstances, I am considering the difficult decision to leave my homeland in search of a brighter future. I yearn for a place where I can live without the constant fear of violence, where I can work towards a better life for myself and my family, and where l can find the stability that seems so elusive here. I understand that this is a significant step, and I am not asking for this support lightly. It is a plea born out of necessity and the desire to break free from circumstances that have hindered our growth and potential. Your support would mean the world to me and would bring me closer to realizing the dreams I hold dear. Your kindness and support will not be forgotten. I am committed to working hard, contributing positively to society, and eventually giving back to my community and my country once the circumstances allow. Thank you for taking the time to read my heartfelt plea. Your consideration means a lot to me, and I am hopeful that with your support, I can take steps towards creating a more promising future for myself and those I care about.”


We need to raise $2,000 to get Fender out of Haiti to escape the fear and violence that surrounds him daily and into another country where there are opportunities for him to work his way out of poverty. 

New Paragraph

Please consider contributing to these wonderful young men.

This is Sasha, 20 years old, and his brother Dima, 16 years old. These boys live in Moldova and need a lot of help to go to school and to get work. Dima is presently going to vocational school where he is studying auto mechanics. Sasha had already been to vocational school and studied building construction. He has not been able to get a job, which is very common in Moldova. They both need shoes for the winter and clothes. They have never had a computer but I found a used computer in Moldova for $112. They also have an 8-year-old brother. Their mother and father have jobs but they do not get paid very much. I have been helping them by sending $30 per month for food. I have been able to get them in church and they have been going with their grandfather. Their grandfather is our car driver who delivers food, money, and takes people for medical care. Almost no one has a car in Moldova so this is a big help for the village. We are trying to raise $400 to help them on their way. Would you like to be involved with helping? Any amount that you could send would be a blessing.

This family has very little income and we need to get $50 per month from a sponsor or $25 per month from 2 sponsors. Rusalina has some health problems with epilepsy and needs medications. She also needs money each month for school lunches. The grandmother stays in bed most of the time and needs money for diapers. George's lunches at school are free until he gets older. There is a mother and a step father. These are very sweet children that I have known for several years. They are in church each week.

Maria
This young lady is Maria. She is 17 years old but has a growth problem and has not developed according to her age.
She, unlike a lot of children in Moldova, has a mother and a father. Neither of whom has full time employment. Maria finished the 9th grade in high school and is now going to vocational school to study to be a chef. She is doing well in school but needs $50 per month for food and transportation to and from school. The students have to come home on weekends and she needs bus fare. We could break this down for 2 sponsors at $25 dollars each. Maria attends church each week with her parents and younger brother.
She also has limited eye sight and needs surgery to correct her eyes. We may not be able to find a surgeon that can do this in Moldova, in that case, she may have to travel to America or Germany to get the surgery that she needs. We are also helping with medical treatments for her growth problem. Please pray for this young lady.
Retired couple
This is Julia and Misha a retired couple in Moldova. Their income is less than $100 per month from their pension. They have difficulty in buying medicines and paying all of their bills. We need a sponsor for $50 per month or two sponsors at $25 each. They have a beautiful garden in the Summer which helps them a lot with food for the Winter. This couple attends church each Sunday.
Lady with 4 children 
This is Elena shown with her four children that are still at home. She has also has a daughter that is married. Elena is a single parent and she does have a job as a janitor but only makes less than $100 per month. We have been using some of our emergency money to help this family with food. We don’t want the children to go hungry. We need $50 per month for this family or two sponsors at $25 per month. Broken homes is prevalent in Moldova where alcoholism has affected a lot of families. These children are fortunate to have a loving Mother that is trying to care for them. Will you pray about helping this family. We want to help but we don’t have the funds.
Singing family
This is a singing family that we met in Moldova a few years ago. They have four children and travel as much as possible singing the gospel to reach people for Jesus and to encourage Christians. They depend on someone that has a car to take them to sing. The Mother and Father both have jobs but make very little. The older daughter is taking some college courses and the older son has just finished vocational school and might be able to find a job in construction. Jobs in construction are very scarce in the Winter. We had a sponsor for this family but they dropped out. Now we need someone to sponsor them for $50 per month or two people to sponsor at $25 each per month. The husband does have some health issues and requires medication. Pray about this family.
Natasha & Masha
This is Natasha and Masha. She is a single parent with two children. One child is an adult and is married. Natasha is a big worker in the church but like a lot of people in Moldova she has very little income, less the $100 per month. We need a sponsor for her for $50 per month or two sponsors at $25 each month. She recently moved to an apartment that needs a lot of remodeling and she could use a one time contribution to help with this. We had a sponsor for Natasha but they no longer are helping. Pray about this need.
Sasha
This is a car that the ministry owns in Moldova. We use this car to bring people to church, the hospital, pick up food and medicines, pick up people at the hospital in nearby villages after surgery, pick up food for the church's food ministry for children, etc. Standing beside the car is Sasha our full time driver. 
Sasha is a retired bus driver and is an excellent driver. We pay Sasha each month for his help. We need a sponsor or sponsors to buy gas for the car. We need $100 per month for gas. We could use 2 sponsors at $50 each or 4 sponsors at $25 each. This is a much needed service to help in a country where there are very few cars. Most people walk, ride a bicycle or take the bus. 
In the background is Bethany church that we base our mission work from. In 2012 we had the dedication of the church and there was about 300 people in attendance and there was only 8 cars.
Ruben and his sister Ana
This is Ruben and his sister Ana. Ruben is in mechanical school. Ana is in Medical school studying to be a doctor. They both need help with living expenses at school. We need a sponsor for $30 per month for Ruben. Ana needs a sponsor for $50 per month or 2 sponsors for $25 per month. Both of these young people are outstanding Christians. Please pray about what the Lord would have you do to help.

These young men are all in vocational school in Chisinau. They live together in a house with 7 other boys. The first two boys on the left are brothers and the young man on the right is their cousin, Cristy. The brothers names are Sammy and Dimas. They need money each month for expenses such as transportation, supplies, etc. I need 4 people to contribute $25 each for their monthly expenses. So that will be $100 per month. I was able to fund them for the first month but now I need someone to come forward and help these boys get an education so that they can help their families.
