Diana is a single mother of two young children, Ian, six years old, and Eithan, one year old. The situation she faces with her children is one of extreme vulnerability due to several interconnected factors that affect their quality of life. After separating from the children’s father due to domestic violence and alcohol abuse, Diana is now the sole caregiver for her children. She lives in a home in rough condition, without access to adequate basic services, which puts her family’s safety and health at risk. The house has leaks and exposed electrical wiring.
Diana works in informal jobs, such as washing and ironing clothes and collecting recyclable bottles. However, these jobs do not provide sufficient income to cover her basic needs or those of her children.
The lack of social and family support has made Diana face this difficult situation alone, without emotional or financial support networks, which has increased her vulnerability.
The foundation recognizes the grave situation of Diana and her children and intends to intervene comprehensively in the essential areas to improve their well-being. In addition to offering material help, the spiritual life of the family is also valued. Pan de Vida seeks emotional and spiritual support, strengthening their faith and offering guidance to overcome adversities from a Christian perspective.
Through the hot meal program, the foundation will not only provide a constant source of nutritious food for the family. Still, it will also create a space of trust, where Diana and her children can find emotional and spiritual support. This program aims to strengthen the relationship between Diana and the foundation, providing them with a safe and hopeful environment that promotes family unity and growth in their faith.
The goal is not only to improve the family’s material conditions but also to strengthen their emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. With the foundation’s support, Diana and her children will have the opportunity to break the cycle of vulnerability they are in, move toward a more dignified and healthy life, and experience God’s love and grace amidst their circumstances.
