I am Lévi Matthieu, and I was baptized in 2021 in Congo Church. I am currently employed by a private transportation company, and I am thankful for the opportunity to work. As the sole breadwinner of my family, I faced significant hardship during the pandemic. The shutdown forced me out of work for two years, yet our bills remained constant. To sustain my family and support my widowed mother, I had no choice but to seek financial assistance through loans. Since the lockdown, my income has also decreased, and I have been receiving the same reduced amount ever since. Despite my efforts to repay the debt and provide for my family, my current salary is insufficient to cover both our financial obligations and my widowed mother's needs. Your assistance during this difficult time would mean the world to us. It would alleviate the burden we have been carrying due to the pandemic and inflation. With your help, I can continue to support my family, particularly in providing my mother with the medicine and food she needs.

My name is Vicky, and I have been a faithful disciple of Congo Church for 18 years. My engineer husband provided for our family with his steady income. On the other hand, I was a devoted housewife, raising our five children. But when my husband passed away at the age of 49 after a long battle with coronary artery disease, our world was turned upside down. Grief-stricken and alone, I found myself struggling to make ends meet. The financial burden of supporting five children was overwhelming, and I felt like I was drowning in a sea of responsibilities. Thankfully, the generous sisters at our church offered me help. They gave me a small loan and taught me how to sell dried fish (fretins) and spices. With their encouragement and support, I have found a new path, determined to provide for my family despite the challenges. Selling fretins and spices took work. I faced long hours, challenging customers, and the constant worry of whether I would earn enough to make ends meet. But the love for my children fueled my determination, and I persevered.
Due to the soaring inflation, I need help to make ends meet, provide food for my children, and pay our house rent. With my limited resources, I seek ETF's assistance to purchase essential groceries and settle our unpaid house rent. Your generosity would greatly help my family during these difficult times. Thank you for considering my request. May God bless you abundantly.
