- "I was given mattresses, a flashlight, bedsheets and many items. I really needed these kits right now. My bedsheets, among other things, are all under the rubble. The tarpaulin is valuable to me because I needed it to cover part of the house to sleep better. Also, the flashlight fills a very huge need." (Feedback summary from earthquake victims in Haiti, 2021)

We really need food nowadays because we are thinking where to get money to repair our house and for our daily food needs." (Feedback summary from typhoon victims in the Philippines, 2022)
- "This hunger crisis is much worse this year. Because of my disability, my income opportunities are limited. I am grateful to the donor for thinking about us. I will have some food through this season. Thank you." (Feedback summary from drought victims in Kenya, 2022)

Through the assistance that we received, we were able to focus our limited resources on other priority needs such as food and the repair of our house."
