The Pain of the First and the Last. When the month’s groceries run out, only those who have no answer for their children know how meals are made in the last days. Every day, we witness the tears of widowed sisters who suffer in silence. And when the deadline for school fees approaches, the trembling voice of an orphaned child reveals a future at risk, teetering on the edge of despair. Perhaps the first of the month doesn’t catch our attention, but for some, it marks the hope of monthly, educational, or medical support they desperately await. Be the one to take the first step in supporting someone in need—because for them, the wait for the first might just be their last.
