Mother’s Day Courage: One Project Angel Food Client’s  Story of Resilience

 

In honor of Mother's Day, we reflect on the profound impact mothers have in our lives. Aline, a courageous 49-year-old mother battling breast cancer, shares her journey of resilience and hope, profoundly touched by the support from Project Angel Food.

 

Since 2021, Aline has faced an uphill battle with cancer, undergoing extensive treatments that left her with significant physical and dietary restrictions. The smell of cooking became unbearable, and her strength diminished, making even the simplest tasks impossible. During this challenging time, Aline worried about how she would continue to provide for her family, including her teenage daughter, Maria, who lives with her.

 

Project Angel Food stepped in, offering not just nourishment but a lifeline. Our medically tailored meals are scientifically designed to meet Aline’s specific nutritional needs based on her medical condition. Then, on top of that, we make all her meals vegetarian to meet her dietary preferences.  This support has been crucial, allowing Aline to focus on her health and recovery. Because of donors like you, Aline doesn’t pay a cent for the meals and preparation is as easy as warming them in the microwave.

 

“I want to be strong in front of my children,” Aline shares. “I don’t want them to worry about me because they have life ahead of them. I am so grateful to Project Angel Food because I don’t have to worry about the most basic of necessities – food.  They not only give me meals and fresh fruit, but they also provide healthy breakfasts for my daughter.”

 

This Mother's Day, we celebrate the strength of mothers like Aline and the vital role Project Angel Food plays in their lives. Your generosity makes this possible. A donation today will ensure we can continue to provide for mothers and families facing critical illnesses, alleviating their worries about nutrition, and giving them hope improved health outcomes or more days with their children.

 

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who need it most. Please consider making a gift in honor of mothers everywhere.
