Today one of my Foodstep grand children died. RiP my beautiful grand daughter Jaja.
Dear friends and Foodstep family, we hope you are all okay and safe during this difficult time of the COVID 19 . We are pleased to inform you that all our kids are safe and sound and all the necessary precautions are being taken to ensure that the kids are healthy. We have amazing staff that are dedicated and well informed about the virus. They are all therefore quarantined with the kids and do not leave the Foodstep premises.
With the lockdown in place, it has been difficult for us to fully cater for our kids, like those who need to go to hospitals often for check ups/ our kids with HIV. Items like hand sanitisers, soap, disinfectants, medical supplies and even food may run out now that all our children are back from school unexpectedly.Therefore your continued support in donations would be greatly appreciated in order to accommodate the children during this pandemic. As of now, we all don’t know how long this may go on for but our faith in God assures us that this will come to pass soon. For now, let us continue to stay safe and support each other however best we can.
