Food
"Ibolya lost her job, so it is on her husband to provide for the family with 3 children. The family of 5 has been living in a small, rented apartment in Csepel, a working-class district of Budapest for 13 years, unable to move out due to financial reasons. Now utility bills, rent, food and the school-related costs of children all depend on one salary. Hungarian Interchurch Aid supports them with food donations in their struggle."
Home
"Katalin and her husband are raising three children in Kaposvár.
"Our gas utility bill has arrived - from now on we have to pay $125 every month, even after deducting government subsidies. My husband works a lot, but I can't because of an accident and I'm still under treatment, so it's getting harder to get by. My children and I regularly take part in the development sessions at the Sure Start Children's Home, and luckily we always get support. Sometimes we get toiletries, sometimes diapers. We always get what we need most. Without their help I don't know how we would get through this difficult time." "
Chance
"Szilvia is unable to work due to a long-term illness. The 40-year-old mother had to support herself and her 15-year-old daughter from $100 a month before fleeing from her abusive husband and brother to the Temporary Home for Families run by Hungarian Interchurch Aid in Miskolc. Szilvia says they have found a home here and are getting all the help they need to get back on their feet, both mentally and financially.
