Rita's Story with food Support
“I had no food, or beds for my kids.”
When Rita first came to The Salvation Army she was at rock bottom, unsure of where to turn, each day a battle to keep her head above water.
“I didn’t know how I was going to feed my children. I had no money to put food in the cupboards. I was just about able to pay the rent, but that was a huge cost,” Rita says.
Thanks to the donations of generous people like you, we were able to provide bedding, blankets, and food parcels to feed Rita and her family in the short term. And for the long term, offer her
budgeting advice to help her get on top of things again.
“I’m so grateful,” says Rita. “The Salvation Army just wrapped around me and my kids and supported me. They showed me love.”
The good news is that Rita is now debt free for the first time in her life. But not all Kiwis are so fortunate.
Sadly, the truth is that stories like Rita’s are not uncommon, especially these days. And this is where you can help. Your generous donation today will help desperate New Zealanders stay above the poverty line. Please click the link below.
