Thanks to the generosity of our owner, Carol Briggs, and the staff here at Abilities, we were able to make a sizable donation to the Samaritans Purse livestock program. Take a moment to read about the impact donating to this wonderful organization can have on a family. Samaritan’s Purse gave Gertrude three female goats in July of 2008 Since then, Gertrude’s goats have reproduced. She currently has nine goats and four young kids. As the sole income earner for her family, Gertude relies on these goats to provide much-needed financial support. Through the sale of her goats, she has been able to purchase land in the local trading center to further increase her income. She recently sold two goats to pay $100 in school fees for her children. A few months ago, Gertrude was hospitalized but was able to sell a goat to pay for the medical expenses. In this way, the goats provided through Samaritan’s Purse are like mobile savings accounts on four legs! Gertrude is just one of the thousands of people in Western Uganda who have benefited through the livestock program. Over the years, we’ve supported households with pigs, dairy cows, goats, chickens and even fish, thanks to the generous donations of our supporters.
