The Mama Kona Story

On February 10, our team at the 7 Blessings Project Foundation received a heartbreaking alert about Mama Kona, a vulnerable widow who had been cast out by her family. She was found in dire conditions-soaked from the rain, weak from hunger and thirst, and sleeping on the cold ground with no shelter.

Upon arriving at the scene, our team was met with a sight that was difficult to bear. Mama Kona was frail, dirty, and barely able to move. Without hesitation, we transported her back to the village, where she was immediately given warm clothes, nourishing food, and a safe place to sleep. As she was cleaned and cared for, we could see the relief and gratitude in her eyes-simple acts of kindness were already making a profound difference.

In the days since her rescue, Mama Kona has regained her strength and spirit. She is deeply thankful for the intervention that saved her from hunger and the harsh weather. Her story is a reminder of the many vulnerable individuals in need of support and the power of community-driven action to bring hope where it is needed most.

At 7 Blessings Project Foundation, we remain committed to helping those who have been abandoned, forgotten, or left without resources. Mama Kona's journey is not over, and we are working to find a long-term solution for her well-being.

Her story is one of resilience, but also one that highlights the urgent need for continued support.

Stay connected with us for updates on Mama Kona's journey and the many others we strive to help every day.
