It Fills Us to Feed: Bringing Hope to Abandoned Elderly People.

High in the mountains, where extreme poverty and neglect are part of daily life, thousands of elderly people struggle to survive without access to food, medical care, or shelter. Hunger and malnutrition in the elderly are critical issues affecting many rural communities, where opportunities are scarce and help rarely arrives.

It fills us to feed because we know that a hot meal not only satisfies hunger but also provides hope, strength, and dignity to those forgotten by society.

Hunger in Old Age: An Invisible Crisis

In rural mountain areas, access to adequate nutrition is a luxury many cannot afford. Malnutrition among the elderly is one of the most alarming issues, yet it often goes unnoticed. Lack of resources, loneliness, and abandonment have made hunger a silent enemy that shortens the lives of many elderly individuals.

We met Matilde, a 70-year-old woman living completely alone in a humble adobe house. Every day, she faces extreme cold and food shortages. Her story is just one of thousands—elderly people abandoned by society, sometimes going days without eating or surviving on whatever little they can find.

When we gave her a hot meal, her eyes filled with tears. “I haven’t eaten well in days,” she told us with a trembling voice. Her story breaks our hearts, but it also drives us to keep helping.

More Than Food: We Bring Hope and Dignity

Our work goes beyond providing food. Every meal we deliver is a symbol of love and solidarity. It is proof that there are still people willing to help and make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Feeding an abandoned elderly person is not just about giving them food—it’s about restoring their hope. It’s about showing them that they are not alone, that their life matters, and that someone cares about their well-being.

Cold and lack of food can be deadly for elderly people living in extreme poverty. That’s why, in addition to food, we provide warm clothing, emotional support, and companionship, because we know that loneliness also hurts and weakens.
