(sad gentle music)- When COVID-19 hit the nation

of Mexico, more than a million people,

who were working at thetime, lost their jobs.

People like Blanca and her husband,

who was out looking forwork, the day we met.

- I used to work as a housekeeper,

but due to the pandemic, I lost my job.

- [Narrator] Blanca is also pregnant

and taking care of hersister and her new baby.

- I can't go out and just look for a job.

It's too big a risk because of the baby.

It's so frustrating.

We really need the money to buy food.

(uplifting music)- When Operation Blessing

learned about the need in the community,

we sponsored a food programthrough a local church

that prepared and deliveredmore than 200 meals a day

for an entire month.

- [Blanca] Now, thanks to the meals,

I don't have to worry about what my son

and my sister-in-law will be eating.

- [Narrator] We also gave families

a gallon of chlorine bleach

manufactured by Operation Blessing Mexico,

to disinfect and keeptheir home safe from COVID.

- [Blanca] I don't know how to thank you.

I'm eternally grateful, andI hope God will repay you.
