Discussing a widow, her family in poverty, and the alleviation brought about by GFA World gift distribution of income generating gifts.

A small shop like this one enabled Nelia (not pictured) to provide for her family after her husband’s passing.

WILLS POINT, TX – Gospel for Asia (GFA World) founded by K.P. Yohannan, whose heart to love and help the poor has inspired numerous charities like Gospel for Asia Canada, to serve the deprived and downcast worldwide, discussing Nelia, a widow, her family in poverty, and the alleviation brought about by GFA World gift distribution of income generating gifts.

A small shop like this one enabled Nelia (not pictured) to provide for her family after her husband’s passing.

Nelia was stunned; Her husband had died without warning. He had been carried to the hospital, where Nelia and their children learned the dreadful news: He had blood cancer. Just a few days later, Nelia was a widow.

Widow Fears for Her Children’s Future

Nelia’s husband had been the only breadwinner for the family, going out every day to work. After his passing, Nelia shouldered the responsibility of providing for her children. Thankfully, relatives helped for a time, providing what supplies they could—but they could only do so much.

When her relatives were no longer able to help, Nelia’s eldest son began working in a motorbike shop. But the money he made barely fed them; their home fell into disrepair and Nelia’s daughter had to stop going to school—the fees were too expensive. Nelia wondered if her youngest son would be able to finish his education; it didn’t seem likely.
