Ride to Thrive
Supporting Families for Six Months
For Ride to Thrive 2022, we provided much-needed assistance, in partnership with ERDO, to families and children in Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Myanmar, Ukraine, and Yemen. We distributed emergency food 11 baskets, healthcare supplies, trauma care, and other necessities to thousands in need.
For example, over 190 families in Yemen received emergency food baskets containing staple items such as flour, beans, oil, sugar, and salt. Your support provided them necessary food for a total of six months.
One Yemeni mother, along with her five children, were greatly blessed by these baskets:
Divorced from her husband, Noor* cares for her five children entirely on her own. When she was selected as a beneficiary of these funds, she carefully saved small amounts of money. She was finally able to buy a water tank for her house and even pay off some her debts! She is incredibly grateful to have received so much care and support!
* A pseudynom has been used for security purposes.
