"How will my family survive?" - Jorge Needed a Miracle
HONDURAS - Jorge was a woodcutter by trade. Until one day a log fell and broke his leg in three places. He needed surgery to repair it.
He said, “Now I am thinking, how will my family survive if I am not there to provide for them?” He spent the next two months at a government hospital because he couldn't afford to pay for the surgery he needed. He said, “I cried in the hospital bed thinking about it.”
Meanwhile, his wife Delores, was home trying to pay for food for her children. She said, “Just one week after the accident, we were running out of money.” With a few dollars she'd saved. Dolores started a business selling food, but they barely earned a dollar a day in profits and ran out of money.
Their young daughter Gabriela said they all went hungry. “It seemed like we did not eat a lot. We only drank water.”
When Operation Blessing in Honduras met the family, we paid for Jorge to receive the surgery he needed to repair the broken bones in his leg. Then to help Dolores provide for the children. we gave her a stove, pans, packaging and supplies to start a new business, selling plantain chips and snacks.
Gabriela said, “They brought everything. Now we don't have to go hungry."
Several months later, Jorge was back to work, cutting trees. And since his wife's business
is doing so well, he helps with that too. He said, “I know that God will greatly bless you for what you did for me. The people who helped me are like angels on Earth. May God bless you.”
