Sevenly + Food for the Poor

Meet Juan and Maria. Juan and Maria live in Guatemala with their mom and infant brother, Hugo. Just over a year ago, their father died in a road accident, leaving Juan and Maria's mother to support all three children. Jobless, and without someone to help care for them, they now hike for more than 4 hours a day to the city dump in search of rotten food. Somedays they eat. Other days they don't. Sometimes what little food they find makes them ill because it is rotten. No mother should be forced to raise her kids this way and no child should be forced to rummage through fifth and garbage to find food.

This week, we are partnering with Food for the Poor to feed starving children in Guatemala. Each purchase provides meals for one child for two months, meaning the difference between life and death.

I’m showing this video to my little cousin when she has a tantrum because her dad didn’t get her the £100 toy she wanted. We really do need to start being more grateful for the things we have. 😢

My 4.5 year old through a tantrum because he didn't get the toy he wanted in his happy meal. I showed him this video to show him WHY we should be grateful to even be eating. So tragic.

Remember this every time you complain about your first world problems.

I can’t imagine how all of them feel. We take so much for granted, or complain about things that are really not a big deal at all. These people are so strong. I hope and pray that god blesses them and that they can one day live the life they deserve to experience. 🙏❤️

I am so ashamed of myself . I used to waste food and took things for granted. I cried watching this video.

[animesubya]

could have been me. I was adopted from Guatemala when I was six months old. My mother could have kept me and this could have been my life. I feel so blessed with everything I have. I feel blessed that I was able to be adopted into a family who could take care of me.

No one should have to live like this .everyone deserves a warm meal to eat and a warm place to sleep with a roof over their head.

I showed this video to my nieces n nephews who don't eat food or waste food.. this video made me very emotional

[labonita]

I have no words.. my heart sank and I wish I had a way to help but just to think that they are not the only ones... all we can do is pray... May God Bless them..

[patriot]

I remember a cold morning in Mexico seeing about 5 kids sleeping in the sidewalk with a few newspapers as blankets. My dad met a little boy and little girl who were trying to get on the bus, he gave them money, they were trying to get to Alaska to search for their missing father.

[moonscrylic]

These poor children deserve better...
It's sad to watch and even their mom doesn't deserve this pain to raise them like that...
I wish I could help 😭

[tommypagawak]

I don’t know how to say, God bless them sometimes we complained a lot we didn’t even realize that many people out there still struggling with their life. Be grateful complainers with what you have .!!!! Heartbreaking

[arunabhadas]
