Ryan Bickel hasn't added a story.
We are the Bickel family. We have been serving in Costa Rica for 12 1/2 years. Currently we feed, year round, 77 children and about 20 other family members 5 days a week in our feeding centers.
Nearing the end of the year work becomes scarce and so does food for these families. Very soon the migrant workers will be coming for the coffee harvest. These families usually show up with just enough money to have gotten here but no food until they can start picking coffee regularly. (That usually takes a month).
Very soon extra, very hungry, children will start attending our feeding center. Families without anything to feed their children begin showing up in the community. We want to be able to help as many as possible. We need your help to do so. Help us show them Christ's love by meeting both their physical and spiritual needs!
Normally we try to have our pantry stocked going into this time of the year. However, this year, it is bare. In October, with the increase of children, we ran out of food a week before the month ended. This was not just feeding center food but from our food bank, children's home and personal. Please help us with this extraordinary need!
