I have been coming to Tiny Tim & Friends for a while now with Samson. Because of the lack of food it has often been difficult to get Samson to take his medication as it makes him feel sick. He is little so doesn't understand why he needs to take his medication and can often become very emotional when he has to take it. Because of the lack of food he was beginning to lose a lot of weight. I felt bad but I didnt know what to do.
One day when I came to Tiny Tim & Friends, Samson was weighed and measured and because he was underweight they told me they wanted to put him on a nutrition programme. That we would get weekly food packages and education about what he should be eating to stay healthy. Each week I came to the Clinic to pick up our food supplies, to check on Samson's progress and to get lessons from Noah on the best way to prepare food to keep the goodness in the ingredients.
Getting the help from TTF has not only helped me to feed Samson and my other children, but means he now can take his medication properly and doesn't get upset any more. Also from the small money I have saved I have managed to start a small business of my own buying and selling charcoal. It isn't much but will mean a more regular income to support my children. I would have never thought this would be possible before the nutritional programme. |
