Help Us Provide Nutritious Food to Vulnerable Kids

This summer and fall, your compassion once again reached the smallest and most vulnerable members of our community. Thanks to your donations through GlobalGiving, we were able to provide baby purees, baby formula, porridge, and children’s vitamins to around 50 of the poorest babies in our Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) program.

For many of these children, this was not simply a matter of nutrition — it was the difference between surviving and thriving. Most of the families we serve live in extreme poverty, often without stable income, proper housing, or access to nutritious food. Some mothers are raising their babies in makeshift shelters, others struggle to afford even a single jar of baby puree or a pack of formula.

Your support gave these mothers something beyond food — it gave them relief, dignity, and the strength to keep going.

A Mother’s Relief, a Baby’s Smile

When our home-visiting nurses arrive at a mother’s door carrying baby food and vitamins, the gratitude is often overwhelming. Many mothers burst into tears — not out of sadness, but out of sheer relief. They tell us that, for the first time in weeks, they will not have to choose between feeding themselves or feeding their baby.

Every jar of puree, every box of porridge, every bottle of vitamins carries your kindness. It’s not just a donation — it’s a message to these families that they are seen, that someone out there cares about their child’s future.

The Need Is Still Great

While we celebrate what we’ve achieved together, the reality remains that hundreds of families across Bulgaria continue to struggle to feed their infants. Rising prices and unstable incomes make it almost impossible for many young mothers to meet their babies’ nutritional needs.

That’s why this campaign is so important. Your contributions allow us to fill that critical gap — to make sure that babies don’t go to bed hungry and that their mothers don’t lose hope.

Thank You for Standing with Us

Each act of generosity — no matter how small — builds a foundation for healthier, happier beginnings. Because of you, 50 babies have had a better start in life. Because of you, their mothers have found courage in the hardest of times.

Please stay with us on this journey. Share our campaign, spread the word, and if you can, give again. Together, we can continue to nourish not just bodies, but hearts and hopes.

From all of us — and from every little one who now wakes up fed and smiling — thank you!

As we continue our work with Bulgaria’s most vulnerable families, your generosity has brought comfort, nutrition, and hope to those who need it most. In the past few months, your donations enabled us to purchase and distribute baby formula to families who could not afford even the most basic nourishment for their infants. This small but vital intervention has changed lives.

Our home-visiting program, based on the Nurse-Family Partnership model, continues to serve nearly 200 young children from low-income Roma communities in the cities of Sofia and Plovdiv. Many of the mothers we support are raising babies in conditions most of us cannot imagine – without running water, electricity, or stable income. For them, baby formula is not just food — it is survival. Your support ensures that those babies don’t go to bed hungry.

But the current reporting period also brought a heartbreaking and unexpected challenge.

In Sofia’s Zaharna Fabrika neighborhood, dozens of homeless families — including several mothers with newborns — were forcibly evicted after their makeshift homes were demolished by the city authorities just before the Easter holidays. With no shelter and no resources, these families were left on the street. Thanks to your contributions, we were able to respond immediately, delivering baby formula to infants who had suddenly lost everything — including the roof over their heads.

This was not just food aid – it was a lifeline, delivered with compassion and without conditions. Every box of formula, every warm interaction, every show of solidarity was made possible by people like you.

The need remains urgent. Inflation continues to affect food prices, and families are still struggling to feed their youngest members.

If you are able, we kindly ask you to continue supporting this campaign — or to share it within your networks. Every donation, every share, every act of empathy helps us reach another child in need.

From all of us — and from every tiny life you’ve helped nourish — thank you!
