First there was Lester. He weighed only 9 pounds at 13 months of age. He was refused admittance at a hospital where his family was told, "he's going to die." But Food For The Poor donors responded with incredible generosity, and Lester is a happy little boy today.

Then there was Zuleyca. At 7 months old, she weighed just 6 pounds and looked like an old woman with wrinkles and sagging skin caused by malnutrition. Once again, Food For The Poor donors responded and saved her life.

Just recently, Fredy Panjoj was brought into our lives. He is 7 years old but weighs just 24 pounds. According to his doctors, he is in the final stages of malnutrition and is half the weight of a healthy boy his age.

Little Fredy and thousands of children like him are in critical need of your help. Thanks to a FFP supporter who has pledged to match donations, all gifts made before midnight, Dec. 31, will be doubled, up to $500,000. In this season of joy and goodwill, of loving and sharing, please come to the rescue of these children knowing you will be bringing the gift of life to twice as many.
