Daihu’s mom almost gave her away because she could not feed her—until we helped!
Daihu is the first child in her family. Both of her parents are in their mid-twenties, and both are uneducated farmers. Daihu’s mom did not feel ready to be a parent. When the doctor told her she was pregnant, she was shocked. Because of Covid the price of greenhouse vegetables was low. They did not have enough money to start a new family.
Daihu’s mom was too stressed by their financial situation to have milk to breast feed her daughter. One of the childless couples in the area wanted to adopt Daihu. The couple tried to convince Daihu’s mom that since she is so young, she should wait and save some money and have a child later. Daihu’s mom was tempted. On the one hand, she loved her daughter and wanted to keep her. On the other hand, she was not confident she could feed her beloved daughter. In desperation, she prayed for God to help her to keep and feed her daughter.
In answer to that prayer, our field worker visited Daihu’s mom and told her that our organization has helped the poor girls in China for more than 10 years. Our field worker offered $25/month for a year to help Daihu’s mom feed her daughter. Daihu’s mom told our field worker that now she won’t give away her first child to anyone, because God answered her prayer and sent angels to her in real life. Mom said she will pray for the generous donors who are providing support. When her daughter grows up, mom will tell her that because of WRWF’s help, she was able to be raised up by her own parents.
