Background
**Note: The note states that we are no longer accepting donations for this cause, however, I closed the option to donate through the Ever Loved website as it will be easier to manage donations via Zelle or Paypal.
Please read on:
Samson Mabonga is faithfully fulfilling a call that God put on his life by caring for orphans, widows and all of those who need to know and experience the love of Christ in the village of Maliki, Kenya (a town in Bungoma).
He and Dad met in October of 2014 and became very close over the years. Meeting Samson was an answer to a cry in Dad's heart as he hoped God would open a door where he could provide support directly to another believer, allowing the funds that were provided to go directly to those in need.
At first, it was only Dad sending whatever he could, sometimes $50/month, sometimes more or less. When I learned of the good work that was happening, I joined in on the support and later Dad's niece Sonja. Together, we were able to consistently provide support for at least 22 orphans (school, clothes, food and other daily necessities) as well as several nearby widows (food, clothing, building homes). Other villagers have benefitted and one in particular, went from depending almost entirely on Samson for charity to starting a small business to support their family.
Although Dad is no longer with us, Sonja and I are committed to continuing this support. If you are interested in providing any level of support, feel free to email me Monique Edwards: (messiahcome2017@gmail.com)
call/text ; 360-349-5007 for more information. You can also send the funds with description of:
"Samson Mabonga"
through Zelle or Paypal (using my phone number or email & name).
Prayer is always appreciated! Thank you for your consideration!
