In a touching display of generosity, a 66-year-old grandmother named Lita Finau from Wailevu was moved to tears when she received a basket of groceries as a Christmas gift from representatives of JP Bayly Trust Labasa. This heartfelt moment occurred on Tuesday, as Finau had been fervently praying for food to prepare meals for herself and her grandson, Elia Nainoka, during the holiday season.
Reflecting on her financial struggles, Ms. Finau shared how food prices have risen, making it difficult for her to afford holiday treats such as the fruit cake she fondly remembered from her childhood, priced at $20. She expressed her gratitude, stating that she was simply asking Jesus for enough groceries to provide breakfast and dinner for Christmas.
For Finau, Christmas embodies more than just a holiday; it represents the celebration of Jesus’s birthday. She cherishes the opportunity to cook and share meals with family, and this year, she felt particularly blessed to have enough food to do so, allowing her to focus on prayer and gratitude.
Her grandson, Elia, a student at Sangam Primary School, was also touched by the moment, recognizing the emotional toll that the loss of his grandfather has had on his grandmother. He expressed his thankfulness for having a caring grandmother who strives to provide for him.
This story shines a light on the importance of community support and the power of faith, particularly during challenging times. As families come together to celebrate the holiday season, moments like these remind us of the love and compassion that can uplift those in need, turning hardships into blessings.
In a world where many face economic challenges, this heartwarming incident serves as a testament to faith, resilience, and the kindness of others.
