A humanitarian group called Miracle for the Homeless has distributed some food items to the disadvantaged and people living with disabilities in Mount Barclay and Morris Farm in Montserrado County. Among items distributed Monday, 8 October were 15 bags of rice and other items.
According to Miracle for the Homeless Country Director Varney Paye Saywen, it has always been the dream of the founder of the group Miracle Gbayee to identify with those who are in need.He says she has been identifying with other people in different communities around Monrovia, such as Buchanan Street, PHP Community and Duport Road, among others.
However, Mr. Saywen has told the beneficiaries that Madam Gbayee, prior to her departure to the United States was challenged by life in the slum.Mr. Saywen lauds the effort of Timothy Kpeh, National Executive Director of the United Youth for Peace, Education, and Transparency & Development in Liberia for linking Miracle for the Homeless with the beneficiaries.
“Let’s say thanks to Timothy Kpeh who actually fought his way to make the connection. It’s because of you that we have come to see these people. Timothy let’s God bless you for the effort”, Saywen says.Some of the beneficiaries lauded Miracle for the Homeless for the initiative, expressing hope that the intervention will be a continuous process.
“I tell God thank you for the thing you’re doing for us. We depend on begging to live. We will pray to God everyday to bless y’all to do more. We’re tire begging everyday,” Eddie Gboyah of Mount Barclay says.
Another beneficiary of Mount Barclay, David Boyah says: “We thank Miracle for what she brought for us. One day I was crying because as a man I depend on begging to survive. So with the help of God today we get blessing through the people here”.
