We just found out today that there is a family out there in need in the Barrhead area. A single father has had a heart attack, and his younger children have been placed in foster care for now. He does have a 16 and a 17 year old who are staying at home alone, having requested not to be placed in a foster home. However, they are struggling for food. They do not have food in the home and it seems that social services won't provide them vouchers for food since they are not in care. So I am putting it out there that if anyone is able to donate any frozen meals, baking or non-perishable food to this family to please please let me know. Craig and I are going to be going to Walmart tommorrow to stock up a box of food (cereal, granola bars, soup, pasta, etc...) to send as well as a few frozen meals for these two children. My amazing neighbour is going to arrange to take food to them next week. So even if it is just one box of Kraft Dinner, that would be amazing. These kids are still in school so lunch items would probably be wonderful as well.
I know that these children would appreciate full bellies, and I can't imagine my children being hungry. Even if a donation of food is not a possibility, if you could pray for these children, that they are strong in this time of difficulty and that their needs are met that would be wonderful.
Thanks everyone!
