Recently, ICDI received a handwritten letter from a client that expressed the impact of our work on the local community. Every food distribution is about more than providing groceries—it's about reminding families that they are not alone.
Messages like this remind us why our mission matters. Behind every meal is a family navigating difficult circumstances, and behind every act of generosity is a community choosing to care. To everyone who donates, volunteers, and supports our work: thank you. Your compassion provides more than food—it offers hope, dignity, and the reassurance that no one has to face hardship alone.
English translation below:
"Thank you to all the kind-hearted people who fight for families like ours so that we can have food in our home. I am very grateful for everything. May God bless each person who makes this possible. You cannot imagine how important this is for us right now. Everything is very hard at this moment, and this is very valuable to us.
Thank you all very much for your time and your kind hearts. I hope you continue doing things like this that are so useful for our household. It is a great help for me and for other families like mine.
I pray for every person who makes this possible. I do not know all of you, but God knows who you are, and He will give you much more. All families are going through very sad things, trying to survive, but God never leaves us, and He sends you to help us during these times.
The things you give us are a great help because we truly use all of them. They are essential for us. A thousand thanks to every person who does not forget about us. We appreciate all of you very much.
This is a little of what I feel in my heart. I felt happy when they told me about today. I appreciate you very much. I hope you can understand my handwriting; it is not very good. I cannot write very well because I only went to school for eight months, but my heart is grateful.
Thank you very much."
