We gave away baskets of food to men of low resources in honor of Father's Day

This month we gave away rice, flour, butter, beans, cheese, eggs and vegetables.

We chose these people because they are honest workers and each of them has something in common: they are parents who sacrifice theirselves to bring food to their homes and that despite the situation of this country and their salary, they do not leave your work or your country and continue with positive thinking that someday this situation will change.

We wanted to give these parents a gift in honor of their day, and thus provide a grain of sand in the situation that each of them lives.

Each basket of food contained:

Donating the food baskets to the people on their works

Miguel Medina, 65 years old, lives alone with his wife of 68 years of age, despite his age he must still work to be able to eat, due to his age he is not hired in any company and he works caring for cars in this parking lot of a medical clinic.

his income is based on what people give him when they leave the parking lot after having taken care of their cars, which scarcely replaces a minimum wage per month.

Belisario Cárdenas, father of two children, he still continues to work as a painter despite his disability

He told us that one day when he returned from his job, he (put mantles on the roofs to make them waterproof) to remove the tar, he poured gasoline with a cloth on his body to clean himself, then that day the light went out, he lit a candle and the Gasoline pot went on together with him too. His leg tendons were burned so he can not walk, but despite all this he must work to feed his family.

Suarez Aparicio, he is 55 years old and has 4 children. He works as a street watchman in front of the mayor's office in San Cristóbal. He does not have a fixed salary, his income varies and goes according to the tips left by the owners

Pedro hernandez, he is 50 years old and father of 2 childrens. He works as car painter but due to the crisis in venezuela and the high prices of things, he told us that he is not getting work lately so his income are starting to reduce, sometimes is not enought to reach the month.

Arturo Cardenas, 58 years old. He works as night watchman on a comercial center. He earns the Venezuelan minimum wage that is 2$ (that is not enough to eat) When we gave the food basket to him he told us that at least for this week, he will no have to worry about how he will do to eat, that this is his primarly worry everyday, sometimes he need to go to his relatives houses to be able to eat that day.

Franklin Romero, 48 years old. father of 1 child, works in the prefecture and receives a minimum monthly salary ($ 2). He told us that he had to sell his house to pay for the medicines of his father and a brother, who became ill with cancer.

He helped them but at the end they did not beat the disease and they died. Now he has not house and lives in one rented with his wife and son, with the help of his wife, their salary is barely enough to pay the rent of the house, we can not imagine how they does to eat. He also told us that he has lost almost 30 kg since the crisis began (he was fatter)

German Niño, 72 years old father of two womans. Pensioned. He lives with his wife and two granddaughters, receives the government pension which is a minimum salary. He and his wife take care of their two granddaughters because their daughter (single mother) went to Colombia to work because of the crisis in the country.

We chose these people because they are honest workers who prefer to work for public for a minimum monthly salary (only $ 2) before choosing the bad life and are parents who support their home.

A very special thanks from all of them to @hopehuggs and her project @steemwithlove, who made it possible for these parents to bring some food to their homes.
