Imagine loving someone, seeing them every week, and from one day to the next receiving a message from their mother telling you that the next day, they no longer have anything to eat, work, or money. That was what happened to us a few weeks ago when the layoffs began as a result of the Covid-19. On the first days, we were able to support with the food we had, but the number of families grew. We built up a new campaign: Where one eats, two eat.
Unfortunately, it is found that this economic crisis will go on for several months, so we proposed that no one be left without eating. It is the least we can do right now.
As a consequence of the Covid-19, many of the families we supported have lost their jobs and therefore resources to meet their basic needs, so we decided to join as a family to support them.
On the other hand, boys and girls are managing high levels of anxiety and stress because being inside their homes, which in many occasions are small and with little or no entertainment, so we generated play kits for each family and we managed to migrate much of our program to a virtual one.
