- [Narrator] Jessica is a single mom.

She'd been able to provide

for her two children untilthe COVID pandemic hit Mexico.

Without income, she wonderedhow long they could last.

- [Interpreter] I started crying

and I told my children I did not know

how we will buy food to eat.

I was really scared.

- [Narrator] Then the family'sfood supply nearly ran out.

- [Interpreter] All wehad left were a few beans.

We had no soap or toilet paper.

We had nothing.

How is it possible

that I could not feed my children?

- [Narrator] Eight-year-oldMateo described

what being hungry felt like to him.

- [Interpreter] After awhile, it hurts right here.

- [Interpreter] Nothingin my life has hurt me

as much as not having any food

to give to my children.

- [Narrator] Jessica prayedand asked God for help.

- [Interpreter] And I openedthe Bible to Isaiah 54.

There God says, "I am your provider.

I am father to your children."

At that moment, I rememberedmy grandmother used

to prepare and sell doughnuts.

- [Narrator] So Jessica borrowed $5

to buy some flour, oil and sugar.

- [Interpreter] I startedmaking just a few doughnuts.

I sold them all in half an hour.

I could only make a few

because I didn't have theright tools and ingredients.

- [Narrator] Then CBN'sOrphan's Promise learned

about Jessica and her children.

We bought a new largerfrying pan, more ingredients,

including a large sack of flour

and a rack with trays.

All that made it possible for Jessica

to make more doughnuts faster.

As a result, her income has increased,

even during the pandemic.

- [Interpreter] I feel happy

because when I see the doughnuts,

I know we will sell them all in one day.

- [Narrator] And now thatthey have new protective gear,

also provided by orphan's Promise,

they said they feel safer as they sell.

- [Interpreter] Thank you for allowing God

to use you to bless my family.
