The children at Amazing Grace Children’s home have faced very difficult times as well. On top of dealing with the  distress of Covid-19, they have recently lost their matriarch.  Margaret’s mother, Ann passed away just over one month ago from blood pressure related issues.  Ann has been a part of their lives (like a grandmother) since each of them first came to Amazing Grace.  This, on top of the pandemic struggles, have made for extremely difficult times.  Our Kenyan Kids has provided extra support on two occasions (May and July) , primarily to replenish food supplies and to help with basic needs.  During the pandemic, food prices have skyrocketed, making the purchase of necessities very stressful and there have been some difficult decisions to be made. OK Kids provided additional funds to buy maize, cereals, chapatti flour, beans, cooking oil, soap plus 5 mattresses and bedding (a need noted during our visit in February).  With our help, they are getting by, but the challenges remain.
