The Ones the World Overlooks — But God Never Forgets

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this:
to look after orphans and widows in their distress...”
James 1:27

At Bread of Life, our hearts beat for the children, youth, and families God places in our path - from the little ones in our Children’s Home to the displaced and hurting across Ukraine. But today, we want to shine a light on a group equally dear to us yet often forgotten by the world: the young and the old, the vulnerable widows, the neglected elderly, and struggling families with small children.

Month after month, our teams are on the ground - delivering food parcels, warm clothing, medicine, and even firewood - to people who rarely make the news but are never out of God’s sight.

Through your generosity, over 75 widows and elderly adults across Romania receive regular food support. Our children’s food program also ensures that more than 350 children in the poorest areas of Romania have much-needed food in their homes.

But the need does not stop at our borders. Our mission has now reached beyond Romania - into Ukraine, Bulgaria, and the Republic of Moldova - sharing hope and practical help with those the world too quickly forgets.

You Can Make a Difference!

We invite you to stand with us. For just $35 or more, you can place a food parcel directly into the hands of a widow, an elderly neighbor, or a struggling family. Your gift brings more than food — it delivers dignity, hope, and the love of Christ.


The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 19:17:

“Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward them for what they have done.” 


Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus. Your compassion brings light to lives the world may not see — but God surely does.


With gratitude,

Alin Panican

The Power of a Backpack: Restoring Dignity, Opening Doors

By Debora Brown • September 11, 2025
Each fall, children approach the first day of school with nervous anticipation or eager excitement. As a child, I loved school. I remember preparing with a list in hand, carefully choosing pencils and notebooks. We weren’t wealthy, but my parents always found a way. Sadly, many children in Romania don’t get to experience that joy. For them, choosing school supplies or packing a backpack is out of reach. Without basic tools, some can’t attend school at all—missing the education that could shape their future.
