Dear, Friend,

It’s back to school here in the U.S., but I can't stop thinking about James and the other students at Mustard Seed Academy, where food supplies are running critically low.

For James, a nursery school student, going without food may mean never walking normally. The malaria he had as a baby affected his motor development, and plentiful food is necessary to restore his mobility. With proper nutrition, James can grow stronger. 

Will you send a gift today, which will be doubled, to help James and his classmates be well-nourished and strong?

Here’s the urgent situation. Devastating crop failures have sent food prices soaring by 50% in Lukaya. Children’s typically sparse meals at home are becoming more meager or nonexistent. They come to school expecting large portions to fill their bellies. 

However, providing plentiful and nourishing meals for these eager students has become increasingly difficult. Your support can help them receive the food they need to learn, grow, and thrive despite these challenging times.

With a gift of $15, you can feed a child like James or a classmate for a month—a contribution that can truly change lives. You can give James the chance to grow, learn, and walk without difficulty.

DONATE NOW

Because of a matching gift from RPU co-founders Dana and Kathryn Hiscock, your gift will be doubled if you donate by September 10th. $15 becomes $30 to help a child like James for two months. Please help James and children like him get the food they need to thrive.*

Gratefully, 

Elaine

P.S. Give so that James and his classmates can have full bellies and the chance to thrive. Give by September 10th to have your gift doubled (up to $15,000).

P.P.S. If you have already given, please forgive this second ask. You can help more by sharing this request with compassionate friends- by email or social media.

* Gifts will be used to buy food for Mustard Seed Academy during this crisis and for all of the good work needed to keep Mustard Seed kids thriving.
