Inevitably, some families initially share their stories but, after more contemplation, decide not to be pictured. A single mother raising five children works as many hours as possible with five children at home and cannot make ends meet.
She earns less each month from her job, which makes it challenging for her to cover the costs of daily meals for her children, pay the rent, and still have enough money left to manage her home. She frequently finds herself needing assistance to afford the type of food she wants.
Unfortunately, many good-hearted individuals and families face financial difficulties without a safety net or savings to rely on. This leaves them struggling to cover expenses such as rent, food, and utilities. When faced with challenging circumstances, they often have to make difficult decisions, such as paying rent or buying food. These families may not qualify for government assistance programs and may be unsure where to turn for help and support.
Mrs. Sandra shares that her husband’s death led her family into crisis. Thankfully, through generous donors, JFM could give food to the 58-year-old Sandra. She needed a word of hope and love from someone, which we did.
William J. Wegener (Bill) is the founder and director of JesusFedMe.com, a ministry with a simple yet powerful mission: to feed the hungry, share the gospel of JESUS CHRIST, and transform lives in Uganda. Bill believes that meeting both physical and spiritual needs is the best way to reflect the love of GOD, and through JFM, countless lives have been touched.
Under his leadership, JesusFedMe.com has:
Delivered food daily to poor families and orphans. | Dug wells to provide clean water to villages. | Built homes and resource centers for struggling communities. |. Established the Miracle Medical Center (MMC) in Nakaseke District, providing medical care where none was available. |. Launched the CVTI Skilling Center, offering vocational training and hope for the future.
Bill’s heart for the poor flows from the words of JESUS in Matthew 25:35: “For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in.” He often says that every bag of rice delivered, every child clothed, and every prayer offered is a reminder that GOD’s love is real and practical.
None of this would be possible without faithful donors who give generously. Bill sees himself not just as a director, but as a steward—ensuring that every dollar makes a difference in feeding the hungry and leading souls to CHRIST. His vision is to see communities in Uganda transformed, both physically and spiritually, through the power of the gospel and the kindness of those who support the work.
