Giving a family a second chance

Melissa

The Reporter – February 2015

Inside this issue:

  • A marriage breakdown is often enough to plunge a woman and her children into a cycle of poverty from which it is difficult to escape. Find out how The Salvation Army helped give Melissa and her family a second chance.
  • The Salvation Army’s Education and Employment service is the Army’s job training agency and provided training and mentoring to 1,493 unemployed New Zealanders last year – including Josiah, who has now become a valued employee.
  • We are very grateful for the generosity of donors and supporters who helped our work in a myriad of ways at Christmas – giving Kiwi families in need hope for a happier, healthier life.
  • A family fleeing earthquake-stricken Christchurch found poverty and slum housing in Auckland. Find out how The Salvation Army helped Christopher fine-tune his budget and change the lives of his family.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, The Salvation Army can bring hope to those who need support. Please donate today and help Kiwis in desperate need.
