My Story

Hello! My name is Rozeta Balla. I am 41 years old, and my birthday is on September 11th. My health is generally good, but my life has been very challenging. My husband passed away four years ago, and since then, I have been living with my parents. There are five people in our family, and my financial situation is very difficult. My son is ill and requires frequent hospital visits, which adds to the struggles we face daily. In the past, I worked in green space maintenance, but now, due to my circumstances, I am unable to work. We live in poor economic conditions, and it is often difficult to cover the costs of food, medical care, and other basic necessities. The burden of raising my child while also managing our financial struggles is overwhelming at times.

Despite these hardships, I am deeply grateful for the support I receive from the church in Polican. I regularly attend the services there, and the church has been a great blessing to me. Every two months, I receive a food package, which helps me during these difficult times. In addition to the main service on Wednesday, the church also organizes special meetings for women, children, and youth, providing encouragement and fellowship. The kindness and care of the church community give me strength and hope.

Even though my financial situation is tough, I trust in the Lord’s provision and remain thankful for the support I receive. I believe that God is always faithful, and I hold onto hope that He will continue to take care of me. I am thankful to the Lord that He is blessing me through the Adopt a Child program. God bless you in abundance.
